Time and Space
Tammy Kelton
This project has so many possibilities, that it was hard to
decide where to start.
When I think of time and space I think of freezing a segment
of time, be it a second, minute, hour, or longer. I relate it to time machine where you can go
back to any given time you want. A
chance to relive a moment, even if it is only in a memory. Any photo can do that, but what if you took
several photos of a given event and arrange it in a way
that you can relate to it as if it were happening now.
I chose to do this with my project.
I have done three photo montages to give you an idea of my
theory. The first was of an eagle I saw
taking a fish out of the river, the second of a lion yawning, and a sequence of
a full lunar eclipse.
The task of choosing the images was not easy as I had so many
to choose from. After selecting the
images came the process of how I wanted to display them. For the eagle and lion, I elected to place
them in a film strip. Aligning the
photos was a challenge, but the outcome was exactly as I imagined it to
be.
The eclipse was more difficult and took the longest to
do. I had to take each photo and size
them, each one came with their own challenges.
The shadow cast upon the moon made it difficult to place and size,
without distorting the image. After many
attempts I feel I got it right.
I really enjoy this type of work and plan to expand upon it
in the future. I have many ideas already
and will start to work on them this summer.
