5 Wellesley Park|find edges; accented edges

I blogged a version of this series of four Park St.-Wellesley Park photographs I took almost eight years ago during summer 2000 on Preservation Project; each image similarly finessed with find edges and poster filters. These new versions feature find edge and accented edge filters. (I'll link everything back and forth soon.) Oh, btw, I actually have about another dozen pictures of Nick's garden as well as a couple dozen B&W photos of houses on Wellesley Park, including #67 WP that won a 1st place blue, best in class and best in show in summer 2007's county fair, but there's something almost iconic about this particular group.

..two versions so far—these are so fun!

b&w collage 02

it's also from a b & w photograph, though the original collage is/was color-full. for details, the notes from collage 01 apply equally to this one.

b&w collage 01

for both this image and the next one, b&w collage 02, i began by scanning in 24-bit color the original b&w photo of a mainly magazine, greeting card and related ephemera cut-and-paste collage. successfully, i believe(!) i tweaked the perspective to something close to the way the original presented on the wall, applied a sharpen filter (1x) and then adjusted curves, brightness and contrast and the image color to black and white rather than converting back to grayscale. as usual, the pc display is darker than on the mac, and so far this one is more successful than 02, but when i have a few minutes i'll work more on both.
