On the countryside I have an uncle who collects tractors. Of course – having this ”hobby” is also creating the need for diesel, gas, oil or whatever. The tractors usually only stands there surrounded by barrels etc. This does not create a romantic view on the farm!!!! The tractors are getting older and the rust is eating on them.
Going to the countryside on holiday has usually – then – evoked rather non – aesthetic assosiactions. But something has changed – maybe it is my experiences in Second life, maybe it my addiction to flickr – OR maybe – finally – that I have been slowly influenced by working at the department of FINE ART, DESIGN and Drama at HiO. Anyway – this summer I actually liked the sight of the rust – the colours it had created, the evolution – still dead but still living.
I used my camera often and productively. Now the pictures of my uncles rust has turned into to useful textures in pictures.
An exaample follows
My uncles rust:
One of the photos goes through photoshop:
I blend those two pictures:
And use it as a texture in a picture taken in second life:
The picture is a part of a developing serie – storytelling cards for children.
Finally it all has blended into another tool for experience and knowledge.
BTW thanks to Helle Stølevik for the latest tip in photoshop.
