Scanlan-Place

This first picture does not have a name, but is taken by Paul Politis and it is an inner-scape. It portrays the emotion of loneliness and it is very cold. Politis is known for taking photographs of abandoned places in black and white. He uses the compositional techniques such as, leading lines, and filling the frame. http://www.paulpolitis.com/bwgallery/abandoned-places-photography/photograph.asp?photo=44

The second photo is a landscape/mind-scape called Constellation VIII, by John Paul Caponigro, it is calming and soothing photograph. Caponigro's photography is based on nature, but more like space and the sky and in this photo he used level horizon as a compositional technique. This photograph is called Constellation VIII. http://johnpaulcaponigro.com/jpcGallery/browse.php?kw[]=annual%20exhibit%202013&num=9

The third photograph does not have a name, but was taken by Paul Raphaelson and he is known for these types of photos, which are cityscape. It is kind of creepy but calming at the same time. He uses leading lines, rule of thirds, and level horizon as compositional techniques. http://www.paulraphaelson.com/portfolios/sub-culture/#7

These are the experimental printing techniques that I wish to use: The Purell image transfer media type="youtube" key="r0h_U1K-s5Y" width="560" height="315" This printing process uses purell and clear film to get the print onto the paper. I would like to print onto a collage, so I think this would be an effective way to print on that collage.

The other printing technique that I could use is Gel Transfer:

media type="youtube" key="ozLJpsJ9wjU" width="560" height="315" I could also use this process to get the print onto a collage.

My concept for this project is that nothing can hold you back from achieving your dreams. Either of these printmaking processes could help illustrate my concept. I want my imagery to have something to do with swimming. I want there to be a lot of light and it would be a landscape/mindscape and the mood would be: focused, determination, and passion. I want my image to be either 11 x 17 or 13 x 19 inches and I want it to be printed onto a collage of swimming articles.
