As an analogous representation of friendships in my life in a dreamy vision, I see friends coming into and out of my life via a dreamy landscape. I see them walking down a path towards me from the distance. They start to walk down a path towards me and some of them are still on this path and stop next to me. Some stop by me and leave and go away through a door where they have shut themselves out into a harder area to see in the foggy distance, and lastly, some start towards me and then stray off into a fiery and smoky area poisoning their friendship and straying off through the door same door as described earlier.
The strategy I will use is to use existing pictures from my past, create a picture of a path or road going off into the distance. The main background image came from a screen shot of the Grizzly Hills in World of Warcraft one of my favorite areas of the virtual world, the fiery tree and stump that I am coming out of are from a vacation in Lake Tahoe and the fiery overlay is from a cookout with a bunch of friends. This landscape is to be used by allowing me to visually map who of my friends in the past are still with me or not with me or have drifted off, fallen off my map of connectedness.
2. An artist that I encountered that makes use of techniques in Photoshop to put kind of an electric look to a shadow of people I am thinking of using in my final. Here is an example that I found on google images titled dsm09499-2-2-2 firelight:
I like this type of genre because it would be cool to make me in the distance look like this as a dreamy way of me looking into my past as I view all my friends from the past. Like I’m magical and can look at everyone on a path as to who is in my life and who isn’t.
I also like this style for the type of path. I will need to hunt around town though to take my own pictures of one. I want a path that is interesting and not necessarily a straight path. I saw one driving home the other day close to where I live that I think I will photograph. But this example is from

I find this next picture by Nishant Ranka really cool looking in the use of computer techniques as I mentioned at the end of blog 3. Again I think is a real image that has been converted because the detail on the trees are amazing. This picture excites me. The sky is really amazing looking with the level of blending done. And the shadows on the ground. The shadows help give it depth perception. I want to attempt to use this kind of technique for my sky and to make a background behind my friends. It gives a mysterious look and anyone not on my path I want it to kind of be a mysterious zone.

3. I am thinking of using Bourne Ultimatum Color and Motion Blur and also incorporate actual motion in my picture.
