111/365: T is To Tear.

I went through a number of words for T today, even got a shot of my dad Tim this morning in case I couldn't come up with anything else. Around 5 pm, I was pretty committed to 'Tacky' but then I had a thought, and I tried it. I think it worked out pretty good, fairly close to what I envisioned.

I stopped in a field near my house and grabbed the shot of me walking through it, arm out. At home, I created the tear in a sheet of paper, and photographed it over some black fabric to help composite out the negative area of the tear. The rest of the process was a lot of trial and error in Photoshop, painting out the right areas, adding shadows, and then adding the text and warping it to appear as if on the page. Click on the picture itself to see it much larger and up close, and let me know how you think I did.
