Technical Exercise #1

I had a little too much fun with this one.  I had my photo all ready to go, then decided to play a little more.  My first photo was taken from a photo series I started in 2010 called “Where is Dobby?”  This was the first photo in the series, and one of my favorites.  I opened the photo and used “Command-Shift-4” a few times to zoom in on Dobby’s face and over-pixelize it.  I then opened iphoto and played around with some of the settings.  My result was pretty creepy, but I really like it!

After having so much fun with that one, I decided to see what I could do to my current Facebook profile photo.  My mom and I take a ballet class together and we took a fun photo together at our last recital.  Using the .txt/.jpg switching technique, I ended up with two photos that I really liked.  I know the assignment was to do only one photo, but I couldn’t decide which one to turn in.  🙂
