Ugly

The other night, I'll admit, I was feeling really down. A lot of things are going to change. So instead of channeling my emotions towards something detrimental to my well-being like I normally do, I tried to create something. The reality is, it's not very pretty. But the point has been made and I'm exploring new techniques that are pretty cool. I have a few versions of this but I'll post my two favorites. I put them in the order I created them. I love the eyes in this first one. The second and third are very similar except for the subtle color in the third. To create these images, I layered a photo of cracked dirt I took awhile ago with a picture from my photo shoot in Ward with Hilary. Then I played with all sorts of effects. It's not exactly pleasant to look at, but it is interesting, so I'm sharing it. That's all.
