“One naked star has waded through
The purple shadows of the night,
And faltering as falls the dew
It drips its misty light.”

Subway platform - BEFORE
Subway to Soup Bowls
One of my goals for this year is to become comfortable with both Photoshop and Illustrator, so I hope to have many more posts like this - with much improved technique - as the months roll by. I was struck by the LOVELY rust on the subway platform today, and snapped a pic about five seconds before my phone died. (Poor thing.) So I've spent some time playing with the palette and composition in Photoshop.

I think this is strong, but hard to digest in areas. Does your eye rest? Does it have a clear journey, or just bounce around? This is a good start, but it's not making a clear statement.
Subway platform - AFTER #2
Ahhhh... Am I right? This is digestible, but not boring. The overlays give structure, without eliminating the textures we had before, which allows it to keep the depth. I would use this palette for housewares (soup bowls!) or as a pillow case design.

More! I know! We've finished up the series of Kansas images from May, and are diving into June images from New York's Battery Park City. When the light gets good, you've got to take it!
