Core Skills (Francess Hansen) Building images: Steve Lovett

First impressions of this images was that it was creepy, but i think the photoshop of the flowers onto the person was done very well, but i found that the photoshopped flowers on the black background quite weird because its just sitting in mid air especially the purple flower in the top far left corner

This image was very interesting because i can see three different images that were photoshopped together pretty well

I personally like this image because for one its different and it pretty new to me. I like the idea of over laying different silhouettes from different textured materials and putting them on top of each other

RRaw week 2 Tuesday 3rd March Exercise 2b

Growing up i was always close to my mum, being the youngest i was always by my mums side and my dad was either working or sleeping for work.
Then as a teenager i soon learnt my mums true colors. A few years back my mum moved out, this even took a huge toll on my life, my school work and attitude toward anyone was affected in a negative way.
I hated life without my mum.
From then on my dad has been mu only support and that really inspired me to be the person i am today.
Since then I've become really close with my dad, now i see him as a person that lives and works to support his family, hes the kind of person that puts his families needs before his own. My dad has been taking care of his parents since he could. He has taken them to Niue, Wellington, Australia, Tauranga to see there friends and family.
Taking them overseas is only one thing, he also takes them grocery shopping every week, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, he takes them to there doctors appointments everytime.
My dad pays special attention to his two beautiful nephews Allyhius and Lakoyee. They always call him "Papa" and noone else. There eyes light up when my dad is around, he always takes one or both with him wherever he goes, they really adore my dad, just like me.
Now with only my dad in my life, i am fully dependent of him
I love my Dad

RRaW Week 1 Thursday 28th February Exercise 2b

I feel the warmth beneath the thermal sun and the smooth and carefully woven blanket.
The wind blowing briefly against my face.
I sit on the native plants of pacific, alone with only my cat.
He sits on my lap comfortably, purring as i pat him softly while he enjoys the warming sun.
The sweet smell of Gardenias surround us and the loud non-stop alarm from the crow of the roosters linger somewhere in the background.
This blanket is a traditional symbol in my culture, and it is a creation of my own, the patterns and colours were steadily chosen and constructed.
This is a part of my culture that i am very passionate about, and i was taught when i was very young .
Now i am old, i still carry the knowledge from my ancestors.
Old women from my island like me, with grey hair, brown stretched skin, weave these traditional blankets for our families and special occasions.
My culture is part of my identity and it is my way of life
