Zack C - Brain Damage


I called this picture Brain Damage, named after the Pink Floyd song of the same name that I quite enjoy. The song feels like a psychedelic trip, complete with insane laughter spliced in with the music. Here I am trying to replicate what I feel when I listen to that song in a visual way, or at least that was my intention at the start. Now, its different, but I’m still pleased with it. Three pictures, each taken with different cameras (iPhone, Fuljifilm SLR, and Mr. Rigsby’s camera), were interlaced in this image. One of kind, old Rajiv dazed and confused in the top corner there, another of an orange lampshade with it’s colors blow out, and the background of a rain-covered windshield on the interstate. I made this picture with the intention that what you are looking at its tough to surmise without being told what each element was. Not much editing was done beyond selecting and positioning elements in the shot, adjusting opacity per layer, and cranking the master saturation all the way to 11. True story, to this day, I don’t know where the pink splotches came from; I can’t figure it out. But regardless, this picture is cool and other than adding some glow to his eyes, there isn’t much more I would change to this picture. I’m willing to take suggestions, though.
