Re: Project 5: Image Transition in Time
I wanted to create a maximum amount of visual information from a small number of images using After Effects' layering and blending techniques.

Re: Project 3: Assemblage + Research Project
For this project I assembled a composition from images of architecture using Photoshop and HDR stitching software. I then "cut out" the frame for the image, allowing the angles and shapes of images to suggest the final outline.

Elkins Photography, Pages 63-76
Pages 63-76 In section 12, Elkins discusses the use of darkness as another operation that allows photographers to creatively obscure meaning.

Proj. 1: Noise & Form - Critical Band Masking
From the Harmon article, I was interested in the relationship of critical band masking to image perception. Harmon suggests that adding noise inhibits our perception of an image largely by masking its spatial frequencies, just as, in sound, a sine tone masks another sine tone occupying a close frequ...
