Creating art

You ever wonder what to do with those photos that don't make your photo albums? You know which ones I'm talking about. You have a finger tip or the back of someone's head. Perhaps the picture holds a memory, but you don't want to put it in the big album for everyone to see. Since I keep all of my photos, I started buying minature photo albums. They are a work of art in themselves. I start by creating a cover if one isn't to my liking. Next I get the photos that I want to put inside of the album. Usually they will hold about 24 photos. The difficult task is cutting the photo procisely to fit inside of the pages. This is also known as cropping. When you crop a photo you want to make sure you do it to capture what you are trying to say. Of course it's your art so you can do it to what makes you feel good. You can do a book of abstract images, people, flowers, you name it. Art is whatever you make it. You display it and people will talk about it. Art is meant to create something within a person when they look at it. Sometimes it brings a smile to a person's face and other times it makes them angry. As long as the artist can get the person viewing the art to show emotion, the work of art is complete. That's my philosophy. I usually buy matching books so they can be displayed on opposite sides of the room, mantel or table. Each book stands on it's on as far as the contents. Give it a try and see what you can come up. You can even cut your photos in different designs, creating a theme within a theme. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.
