more progress

 My most recent photo weaving was of my parents. I liked these two images because of the positions of the two peoples arms and how the heads are facing opposite directions. I used my inspiration from Dinh Q Le's works and decided to experiment with not weaving all of the strips together, and to try to make the hands more visible by doing so. Next time I do a similar technique I would like to use images that are less busy in the background.

I have also been experimenting more with gluing strips of photos on to another to create juxtapositions with people and places. I feel out of the two posted above the one on top is more interesting. As discussed in the last in progress critique, the verticals in the pillars of one picture and trees in the other are more interesting than the image of a waterfall and the woman standing. I feel the second image would have been more effective if I would have used more contrasting or fitting colors between the two images. I plan on working more with people I know and how they relate to places or spaces I am familiar with to create meaning in my photos.
