Last weekend I took a lot of photos of my daughter and her harp in urban spaces. This one was the most successful because it has a narrative. I like the way the mood and story changes in the ‘noir’ version. Verging on dystopia. Taken with canon 550D. Folio ideas.

I’m posting this because I made a mistake when saving it. I am learning photoshop and spent an hour changing the above photo. I cropped, edited out the tree branches and one of the vents under the small window. I also edited out the shadows to the right of ‘theatre’ and the right hand side of the arch (still visible here). Unfortunately I did not save it correctly at the end of the session and the finished version was a .psd. This jpeg is a version saved early in the editing process. I’m posting this to remind myself to save files properly.

Some images by Imogen Cunningham. I’ll be researching this artist for my assessment. I am attracted to her work because, like me, she took portraits as well as botanical photographs. I hadn’t seen her work before and am looking forward to exploring.
