Assignment 6

Part A

      I took this picture of the Old Port during "Montreal en lumiere" and I changed the skating rink with water from a different picture I took of a sunset over water. I also added a huge moon and the portrait [from assignment 5] we had to include in one of the edited pictures.

 In this picture I made the sky out of water, I added the Eiffel Tower in Montreal and I made a white tunnel to nowhere.













Jerry Uelsmann

       Jerry Uelsmann was born in 1934 in Detroit, Michigan and almost all his life revolved around photography. What was interesting about Jerry Uelsmann was that he saw photography different than most other people. He thought about it as a different world, more exactly a  new world seen through his eyes. His passion for photography appeared during highschool. After finishing school he worked as a photography teacher.
          His photographic work consistes mostly of surreaklist imagery, formed with more then one negative. At the time when he worked all the work was done in the darkroom, and it was very difficult not to distroy the image. Today it is a lot easier with the all the techology, and with the help of photoshop people can do something similiar a lot quicker.






Wols

     

        Wols (Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schulze). was a german photographer and painter who was born in 1913,  in a wealthy family. However he lived most of his life in Paris, and later during the war he tried to US but with no succes.
He is mostly known for his pictures and paintings that are described as abstract art. As a photographer he's main team was stains, and he had a lot of pictures taken in kitchens. He modified those pictures in a dark room to make them look strange. But because this was very early, photography was not very advanced so it was very difficult to edit pictures. However he managed to creade is pictures in such a maner that they appeared to have a textural quality.




Part B:  Diptychs

 

Edit:  I decided to upload a panoramic picture too.

This is the view from my balcony.
