I'm trying to find the words for these works. All that comes is left.

A Shared Reality
Looking at different compositions for "A Shared Reality." Or at least that's the working title, which could very well change, I'm just trying it out.
If anyone's looking at this, leave a comment, let me know what you think of the composition, and especially if you read anything into it as a narrative. I'm interested in how the narrative reads without any suggestion from me, other than that it's a self-portrait.
Oh, and thanks Nina for handling the camera.

What I've been up to...
So...after life drawing ended, I stopped posting, but now I feel like I need a space to digitally review/post/organize my new work. Plus my midterm review is on the first. Not looking forward to it. I got it postponed once already because I dropped a bunch of studios after being in the hospital, and it took me a while to make up the credits.
Anyway. This is a found image, rather a found negative. It's medium format...I believe it was taken in the late 60s. I'm not sure who the people are, I'm guessing they were friends of my father since they were in his old photos/negatives. This was the key image for a print I finished up last month that included geometric shapes in primary colors, the negative and positive printed over in sepia and cream colors along with some supporting colors. The final image is difficult to read, which is something I was playing around with...I like the anonymity that it brought to the image. I'll post the actual print later, it's at school.
Here's a general composition for my next print. I pulled a bunch of images from the web just to piece together what I wanted to work with. I'm not sure whether it will be a key image or a composite, but I know I'll be working with warmer colors, with some cool offsets. I'll be recreating this scene tonight to take reference pictures (or a key image). Got all my props, I just need a bunch of cigarettes.
And finally here's a new photograph from last night. I'll also have some more photos coming up. I'm going to be playing around with a disposable camera and I'm also going to be doing some analogue developing. I've always wanted to try caffinol-c development, so I'm finally going to do that. http://content.photojojo.com/tutorials/coffee-caffenol-film-developing/
not sure which composition of the two I like better...they both leave a little to be desired.
