On the wall above my computer, part 2
This fall I’ve been continuing with a little project I started last year: putting plants and parts of plants in the scanner and seeing what comes out. Leaves changing color are particularly satisfying; when I cut out the background they take on a 3D effect, to the point where someone visitng once went up to touch the picture, thinking I’d just pasted the leaf on there. (Here’s the view from my window with the witch hazel tree in the middle distance just starting to turn.) It’s a simple image, but one I haven’t gotten tired of studying yet.
