in preparation for sunsets stretched

in the spirit of being contrary, i'm working on things that i normally wouldn't consider and making them okay to work on.

this is a concept sketch post for me and the final work will not be a photograph...though it probably will reference them. but here's where i'm starting: distorted fragments of photos Nick proclaimed as his "favorite sunset photos he's taken."

and there is no argument of their beauty! i'm only trying to think about bigger ideas behind the "sunset photo." *

a test sample of one approach. stitched on the back of an old reproduction painting i made in college.

yes, this will be challenging.

*i'll go more into ideas surrounding "sunset photos" later, but here's an editorial that touches upon my previous disinterest in them.
