"the indecisive moment" in photography reborn skims the history of compositing and manipulation of photographs. for those interested photography provides some interesting examples of prints composited of over thirty photographs.
personally when i shoot with my 35 mm i am alot more selective due to the time and money it takes to process the film and potentially a print. im most likely missing out on some really great shots, but can't stomach the thought of adding another roll of film to my shoe box in the closet!
when im working on a project for digital class i can take about 200 shots when i only need 2 in print. im not risking anything! (maybe a few seconds longer in upload time?) i guess i dont look for that decisive moment as much. but the possibilities are endless. i am currently documenting historical landmarks in an effort to preserve them so i dont have much use for manipulation but if i was able to return and track the decomposistion of these places i could find an interesting side project.
i dont meant to sound ignorant, i appreciate and envy the imaginations of artists who have the patience to make these photographs. right now i am just trying to learn as many skills as i can the short time i have left in school and produce work true to myself and interests.
