Progress

I used the double exposure feature with these two photos to experiment and preview what my final project may look like.

Progress

So far in my experiment I have downloaded software to digitally enhance a photo. I will be using Photoshop to double expose an action shot. After downloading this software (the free, 30 day trial) I was amazed to see just how much you can do with it. If I hadn't already decided on my experiment, I would have many other ideas just by playing around with Photoshop. I've decided to start brainstorming some other ways I can expand my experiment so far. Would a double exposure effect the idea of space as much as time in a picture? I plan to come up with some ways to play with this idea.

Project Idea

I've decided to consider photography as a media. My project will be a picture about pictures.To carry out this experiment, I've decided to explore the idea of double exposure and its relation to time. One of the limitations of photography is that a picture can only capture a single action, a single moment in time. Film, however, has the ability to capture real time. It can document movement and actions fluidly. So, can we manipulate pictures to capture more than one moment in time? I'm hoping that double exposing a single photo of a person in action can accomplish this. My project will be a photo's attempt to imitate motion picture in a single shot.
