Mega pixel project

During some recent scanning work for a client, I noticed a fair amount of landscape photographs. They had amazing colors and lovely scenery and probably captured many memorable moments. (Say that ten times fast) I also have lots of scenic photographs without people in them: cloud formations, sand, rocks, water, mountain ranges. I'm embarrassed to show the many pictures I have of plain blue skies. But what to do with them?

Artist - and prolific photographer - Liesl Pfeffer makes incredible collages out of her photographs. I particularly love The Mountains Wait.

Of course, you can cut up original photos to create your own collage. But with digital images you can print your photos onto photo paper for glossy or matte finishes, card stock, or any other fine papers for effect. Manipulating the digital images to enhance a color scheme can also add to your collage work. Imagine using sepia tones to create a cinema-inspired project or adding hyper contrasts for your Warhol homage.
