Taking a photo of an art piece is a great way to critque it. Some pieces photograph well and look better than in real life. Some that look great in real life look worse photographed. Haven't quite figured all that out yet since I'm not exactly a trained art photographer, but today I photographed what is done of my latest project -Harley's travel suitcase call Dogs Travel Light. Not sure if I need to do any more on it or not.
You can see the suitcase here- a metal lunch tin- small- banged up and painted and even the handle is wrapped in electrical tape to make it look used. Inside are several created postcards. On front is a view of where Harley is and on the back is his message-put them all together and a tell the story of a dog at the kennel who breaks out to go find his owners. On the way he decided he is going to have some adventure and travel. (Which those of you who know Harley- he loves to go with us anywhere we take him.)
His trip first takes him to Vegas. I based this since our last vacation(Aug. 06) was to Vegas, Zion, Bryce and The Grand Canyon. The postcards are dated to follow the story. There's also an inserted telegram and a bag from Mount Rushmore that wed got when we went there in 2003.
