DSC_0040 People on the Bus 19-27

I ride the bus here in Olympia and the people are great. This woman’s rings and stockings created a graphic study for me. I shoot a lot of sections parts of human form some drift to abstract, some just wonderful graphic compositions. October 27 my 6th day in Wa. peace pjc

When you have finished manipulation? Do you ever finish manipulation when is the piece finished? When is it Art?

bw-8-LithoTransferSevenMonths

Manipulation isn’t new this image is a study of a pregnant women. Shot on 35mm film at ISO 1600 to gain more grain and texture. It was then printed onto a sheet of 4×5 film giving me a positive image, then contact printed on to a 4×5 sheet of litho film [high contrast film used in the printing industry]this film sees just Black and White and adds more texture and grain. Many steps that I decided on while shooting the original negative in very contrasty studio light. When did it become Photographic Art?

What are your thoughts? When Does an image become Art? peace pjc
