THE SOJOURNER FALSE

This portrait of myself was modified from an image I took at Sunrise, Arizona earlier this year.  I started by looking at pictures that I had of myself (which was not many), and decided upon this because it seemed to be the easiest to edit.  The picture was very flexible in terms of being able to edit coloration and lighting.  It is as complete as I could make it with the time allotted, considering I haven't used Photoshop in about 5 months.  I hope to come back to this picture and finish it sometime during the semester.

When I was growing up in Phoenix as a child, I used to wander around the Downtown and Central areas just to get out of the house, because my parents were usually fighting.  So I took the city to comfort, and it embraced me all the same.  This picture is a representation of a walk through the city in my childhood eyes combined with a dream I had about a wasteland.
