Urban Environment...

I began by getting photos from the internet of the some of the bulidings in Limerick that were reflected in the River Shannon as I did not have my hands on a camera just yet...I was really interested in the shapes and symmetry created by these urban structures  as they were mirrored by their natural surroundings...
As you can see I am not trying to replicate these buildings and reflections at all, what I am really interested in and enjoying is just playing around with there shapes and also the negative spaces created by these images..:)



THE CEMENT FACTORY.....
The old cement factory is a structure which  has really interested me the last couple of years...ya it's a fair old trek if you were to walk because it's literally the VERRRY end of the dock road,ages past dolans!! I really like this massive old stucture because there is so many different parts,shapes and sizes to it ...sooooo,ya I did some studies of its different shapes by cutting up my photos and the likes...

I love how by manipulating an image it can begin to resemble something completely different... like I think the above cut out looks a bit like a scarecrow?? maybe??

The last photo I posted up there is probably my favourite of the photos I took of the cement factory..
I think its very pretty how the sun set shine through the small cracks of the giant structure and through nearby bushes, adding a contrasting delicacy the structure...:)
