This week our Photomotivation assignment is Art for Art. We are asked to find a mural, someone else’s photo, a photo from our archives, etc., and look for and select out a special area to create our own art from a previously rendered work. Our teacher, Carol, emails out a 3 page pdf explaining what she wants us to do.
Hopefully these examples explain a lot better than I did, what I mean. Can you see where, in the original photo, I took my crop from?

Original sign.

Cropped sign. (Wish I'd seen this for the Faces in Unlikely places assignment.)
In a world of so many great photographers and writers, I am venturing into some unknown territories, leaving comfort zones, finally very willing to practice the art of seeing. By maintaining the practice of posting daily photos, I hope to continue learning about the possibilities that I trust are out there for the taking.


I love the goat! It looks like Coco’s teeth!
The sign is SOOOOOO creepy upclose, who woulda thunk that cropping can be such an art??!!!
Tee hee. Look at Trish’s comment Katya. You and I are both in another world.
Like the wooden door photos !! Very rustic
That “goat” has a sexy under-bite. But I think that’s a llama. I like the face in the sign.
Oh, thank you Trish. I was so focused on seeing art in the original photo I forgot to notice what kind of animal I was looking at.
I have changed the label in my blog from goat to llama.
