In Photography I had opportunities to play with different cameras - a holga, a twin lens, and my favorite: Minolta X700 with a bellows (accordion like thing). Now, I had no idea what a bellows was, but I grew to quickly adore it

<---- what a bellows i used basically looked like... i'm in love with it

I experimented with tons of things from feathers to gems to.... gift cards! Yes, I zoomed in on gift cards from Starbucks. On a whim, I took an entire roll of color film to see how it would turn out. After I picked up my prints from target (since in Photo I we don't do color - plus I think i'd shoot myself trying to print all of them), I was hooked. DETAILS! I could instantly see how the images were made up of, which cards had layers, which had glitter - it brought a totally new perspective to how images are printed.

What you get to see - all the little dots of colors that make up the design! I really like bringing attention to the components of an image. It is not green and yellow, it is light blue dots with dark green and med. green dots on a dotted red, green, and black bg that makes yellow........ etc

<----- size comparison to an actual sized gift card - talk about blown up! THey are 4x6, I wish I had the funds/space to do 8x10 - heck, maybe even 11x14! Someday.
