Photoshop Project 1
(composite of two or more photos)

This project will be to compose an image from several pictures.  The goal will be to layer some very different settings and to make a seamless transition from one perceived area to another. In viewing the image, the viewer should get a sense that these very different areas are actually very closely related, and maybe even made of the same "stuff". 



We tend to believe in what we see or feel.
So, the "stage" is set, a movie theater, a concrete sidewalk, it's all man made, here and solid, right?    

But what if it were just temporary in nature, an illusion , ready to become more "permanent in nature" again ? 

 Would you look at it differently?

Technical Notes:

A variety of techniques (copy, paste, burn, smudge, free transform, opacity values) will be used to produce the image. 
Additional pictures will be used as a background (and negative space) that will ultimately change the perspective of what is already presented. 

Notice that the picture of the theater and the granite rock mountain are both at a 3/4 angle to create synergy between the two environments.
