Another Brick In The Wall<\/h1>\n

This is one of the latest in my Vortex<\/em> series of digital art \/ photo-manipulation.<\/p>\n

What I don’t usually reveal is the source material for these digital abstracts. In many cases I have even forgotten the original image I used to create them. On occasion I have to find the master file and examine the metadata to figure it out if and when the topic comes up.<\/p>\n

Since this one is fresh in my mind, I thought I would give y’all a little insight into my process.<\/p>\n

The original image is from the inner basement area of the old Sears Building, now known as South Side on Lamar<\/em> in the heart of Dallas. I explored this area back in December of 2008 with the idea of using it for some edgy modeling photography. There are several images from the research trip that I have used, one of which is in my first coffee table book, Texas As I See It<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is the original unedited, un-retouched image:<\/h3>\n

Photoshop manipulation is next.<\/h3>\n
