I suppose one aesthetic thing I've been trying to do in this series of pictures is give them the look of a painting. But that's not quite right. I am not trying to make them look painted, more, I want them to look so real they seem fake?
I am trying to make them look like highly produced compositions. They should be a little too real.
Some of whatever success I have had with that comes down to how upscaled and detailed these pictures are. I was deeply impressed by a scene in the original Blade Runner where Decker, the main character, zooms in on a photo that has so much detail he can still find a clue in a tiny portion of the image. While I can see exploring this idea more in the future, these quote pictures don't have hidden messages in their details, but they do retain coherence even when highly zoomed in. Although at this point, that is a byproduct more than a feature.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
