Photo Collage

Our most recent art assignment was to take photos from two different places, and then put the photos together to form a new scene.  At first, this sounds easy, fun, and do-able, but as I began taking photos, I realized this wasn't going to be quite as easy as I had thought.  It's not just about thinking about cool ideas for a composition. #1 you have to take pictures with a lot of the same lighting #2 you have to take pics that will fit together and tradition nicely  #3 You have to make sure you take enough photos, and that they don't all look exactly the same ....I'm sure there are others but those are all I can think of at the moment.
Anyways, I went through a bunch of ideas, all playing with the same kinda of general composition.
                                                          I wanted benches and trees.
Don't judge. I had my ideas. And they just happened to all have benches and trees in them.  I like trees. And there are many many benches on campus.
I ended up printing out about 140 photos...yes.
I only used about 50.  (I know, I know)
But I was glad I had that many photos to chose from.  There is a saying in photography that goes something like this, "Out of 100 photos, you might get 2 photos worth keeping"....enough said.
 

All these photos to sort through.......

Putting it all together......

Finished!
