Idea Blog: Finalized

In my final images, i have been rephotographing the actual first prints of the pictures that you have seen on my blog before, and at the same time, incorporating dirt into the imagery. I will be taking dirt that i have collected over this semester and using it to outline the photograph, and creep into the image in parts. I want there to be a sense of misplacement within the imagery. My final pieces will not be something easily understood by all viewers, partially because the concept still has more work to be continued with and altered slightly, however, i will hope that the feeling I portray through the images create a sense, a feeling within each person about their past, and feelings related to similar ideas, even if those feelings are hard to describe.
My final ten pieces each have a main point that i took the photograph about. The ten aspects are:
Location
School
Family
Friends
Home
Travel
Shopping
City Business
Food
Wealthiness
The pieces remind me of what i feel each look like, and are not necessary to understand the pieces. The whole piece emphasises my misplacement here, and in these ten different characteristics are my experiences here. The dirt, color correction, and my presence and aura given off in the imagery is my hidden identity telling me that there is something missing. I thought about posting images, however, i will on my final blog post, after the assignment is due.
Good luck to everyone!

Artist: Chuck Close

Chuck Close, born in 1940, is an American photorealist that paints with the finest air brush style, and creates magnanimous head portraits and self portraits. By looking at his work, i have noticed that his images deal with identity and issues focusing around people and their perspectives of others.
Here are a few examples:
These photographs are each individual and unique, and to me it speaks towards a different side that i see of that specific person in the photograph. The photographs are each focused in a very small and detailed area at a time, in a type of unique and abstract painterly style.
His photorealistic style of imagery is almost covered in a 'truth veil' giving the image of what would be a normal portrait, a type of filter that shows a kind of imaginary truth that is revealed from the original person .
