On a dog-walk this morning (that is walking the black-dog while I wait to taxi the family home from their work), I snapped some shots of the charming Queniborough. A small village is Leicestershire.
The snaps contained the usual familiar cultural trappings and noise; cars, signs, posts, wires etc.
I wanted to reflect, represent, capture something… ‘What I saw’ made me feel/think stuff. Under the everyday thoughts we can perhaps glimpse more… something the views evoked… potential? nostagia? sublime? curiosity?
I snapped the photos below, and with the tools of my trade, primarily Adobe Creative Cloud I rendered a quick reflection. Some may use pencils, paints etc but I find editing and rendering photos a similar process to putting mediums on paper. With a little finishing through Snapseed I came up with the below.
It’s done by combining and reworking the image. Perhaps similar to how a painter or illustrator might rework a drawing to portray more reality than an unconsidered glance.
A view, a consideration…
