Photo Montage 1

I created this image tonight using an automated splicing program that came with my digital camera. Rather than montaging together the individual images in a Hockneyesque manner, I decided to see what this computer program would churn out. My first attempt actually looked a lot different than the image below, as the piece in the upper left corner was the first to process (it was a darker image), that somehow seeped into half of the other images, creating a muddy mess. It lightened up a few of them, which produced this. What was interesting was that not only did the upper areas brighten, but the lower portions actually spliced together differently because of it. What resulted was a strange fish-eyed, tweaked perspective. The house is my home back outside of Chicago, taken on a harsh snowy Christmas day.
