Today I got creative with my resources. I’m at my daughter’s house in Paonia, CO, with nothing but my laptop and the photos on it. I have a cold so there was no venturing out for photo journalism essays. BUT – I was thinking about two of my favorite images from a trip to London last year and how I’d like to combine them, so I got on my son-in-law’s computer, imported the photos to photoshop, and did what I visualized. I started with a train from the subway, called the Tube in London. Some stations, like this one, are in the open air.
Then I took an underground escalator photo in a tube station that I absolutely love. I mean, I really like this photo and I took it likkety-split. My eye saw the picture, my camera is always around my neck, so voila!
So the image below is my art for November 9 of AEDM, Art Every Day Month. Go to the website and check out all the wonderfully creative works people from all over the world are doing for the month of November.
I don’t have a name for it yet. It has to gel in my head and churn around until the suitable name emerges.

I love what you’ve done with these photos. They were great on their own, but combining them was genius! Fabulous perspective! I only have PS elements. Can I do this, too?
Norma, I don’t know. If you have layers and the eraser tool, maybe. But you basically open a blank document through photoshop and then use layers to place the photos. You can do the feathering effect with the eraser tool setting the opacity, etc. as you wish. You’ll have to play around b/c I don’t really know what PS elements has. Thanks for the compliments!
I got Photoshop before I had a Mac, and at the time I never thought I’d ever get a Mac, so I lost (gave away, threw out?) the Mac version, which really disappoints me now. But my kids have been using it on their laptops, and I will likely borrow one of their computers so that I can use it at some point. Creating digital images is fun. I love your photos!
Thanks, Susan. Yes, I do have all those things in Elements. It will take some work, but I do love your results.
