Slow Decay

After a lot of toiling and waiting for nature to slowly take its course on my scanner, I finally managed to get the effect I wanted (with of course just some teensy lighting adjustments so the background would look white) In all honesty the colours are natural. Although I think at this very moment the flowers in my scanner are turning into a less appealing shade.

I had actually wanted to use a black background with a slight blue tint, as I thought it gave the flowers a very mystical glow... but then again the main idea I wanted to portray was a sort of life reflection and the transient nature of living itself. I doubt mystical faeries had anything to do with how I was brought up.

[note after several hours of trying to upload the photo I give up. will try again when blogger decides to cooperate]

would be interesting to meet one though.

Another idea that I wanted to persue was to use playing cards as a scan, mainly because I have access to many special looking cards, but then again, that would ruin the magic off some of the tricks I perform. Not only that, the whole thing looked too square. I prompty deleted it without thinking. Which is why I can't put it up now. And yes. If you want to see a trick or two, don't hesitate to approach me. I promise you, Im not that good.
