Assignment #14: Through the Lens... :
David Hockney: In his early years in his career, Hockney traveled from place to place painting. Yet, he would also shoot with a polaroid camera, which he used as an aide-memoir(memory aid) and would then use the photographs while he was painting in order to paint accurately. He later laid out all of the photos to paint the correct scene. Yet, once he finished the painting he stumbled on the new technique he would begin using, collage. This "accident" was one that allowed Hockney to rise to fame.

I love the idea of the shot but have a few comments...the photograph you took is actually out of focus - do you have another that is not? also, the magazine "shape" you have recreated is square as opposed to rectangular. Can you rework the image to make it fit in a magazine format? See me if you have questions or comments.
