Early Experiments

When I first started this project, I spent a little time messing with the settings on my digital camera, and doing some basic editing in iPhoto. I took about 50 pictures of this one very brightly colored towel in my room with different sources of light and effects and so on, to try and see what they all did. Later that day, I found a spray painted portrait of Audrey Hepburn on the sidewalk of the Blvd. St. Michel, and had a little fun trying to photograph it. Here are some of the more attractive results of my early experiments

Here's that d!#$n towel I was talking about.. I include this solely for documentary purposes:


And here's my favorite of the Audreys, after some tinkering in iPhoto to adjust the contrast and light balance:
