I originally couldn't decided how to start so I ended up with pieces and parts of my scans and photographs all through together on a blank page cutting and moving things around for something to look appealing. This resulted in my working in progress which I honestly have no idea where the pink back ground came from that was a miss step ( I don't even like pink), but it its also what gave me the idea to use plowed field as a background. Everything symbolizes my life. The fresh plowed dirt is my life, our family farm, agriculture. Then the film pieces, they were a scan of used black and white film that actually contains pictures of scenery from around my home. I decided to make the film appear to be more dated there fore the coloring. I then took pictures, some whole or pieces of them, and insert them on to the film strips in color. But I didn't want them to be sooo bold so I used Linear Light to give them a darker feel yet leaving them easily recognizable. Then there is the Apple Blossom that I cut from one of my pictures its bigger then most of the other objects in the composition and right in the center. I meant it to be the main focal point and new life.
I hope that people can can get the feel of how much agriculture is important to me I love our farm, its the one place that makes me calm when things seem to be in chaos, and no matter what happens its a cycle you go through the motions and try again when you fail.
