Art is Life is Art: Susan Reep Photo Art

This is pushing my creativity – I’ve been forced to wrestle with Photoshop until I can do what I envision since all I have with me is photos on my Mac.  When I take pictures I know almost instantly if I am going to use them in future work.  Today I worked with three photos:

A year ago I was in London, and the London Eye fascinated me.  I have many photos of the Eye (it’s a large ferris wheel constructed for the Millennium celebration.)  I decided to use this one in a new series I’m calling The Pink Daisy Series.  I have a travel journal from London on my blog with more photos.

A couple of weeks ago I was in Pismo Beach and took lots of photos of waves.  I did a post on them, but I knew I wasn’t finished with these particular photos.

Tying these together is an image of a daisy I took in January 2008  in Redstone, Colorado.  I’ve already used in for a collage in my Altered Landscape series.  It’s right on the main page of my blog.

So what have I done with the daisy, the wave, and the London Eye?
