another photoshop experiment... lighten

Main Image:
Random scatter of a box within certain constraints set in 3ds MAX compound objects.

Rendered with Light Tracer
image above: the 'lighten' effect is used with a concrete as the background map and brightness and contrast is adjusted

'Difference' effect with bricks.jpg as foreground image. Effect is mostly controlled by the 'fill = %' of the foreground image.

hyphothesis:
1.'difference' effect gives a very interesting "revealing effect" or somethng that is emerging
2. Still can't think of any use for the 'darken' effect except as background images. Old t-shirts graphics?

my chosen point of departure in architecture...

Architecture can be percived and approached in so many ways. The 'hard' (structures, forces, geometries of form) and the 'soft' (quality of environments, mood, atmosphere) becomes the only resonable act of architecture since its birth. Her postulation has always been about how the 'hard' and the 'soft' can coexist with the environment to perform a social, cultural, and economy task - an assignment dedicated to for prosperity of mankind on earth.

My chosen point of departure in architecture will be dedicated to the exploration of the relationship between man and its environment.

Nar... sorry folks, all these are just just bullshit.

Truth is.. I wanna do it cuz that's the only thing that I find stimulating.
