Taking a picture of taking a picture, acrylic gel medium style


  

The last alternative process I did was a gel medium. For this assignment, I picked this photo simply because of the tonal variations, figuring it would look neat with this process. This took the longest to make, with a total of 20 layers, but it's definitely more durable than a picture on paper. I like the way I can wrap this around something and it can change you see it. I was initially inspired by the architecture in the background, as I've always been in love with the old buildings downtown. Not to mention, I went to an art gallery that day so I felt inspired to take pictures. When I got my film developed, and this picture came out, it automatically became one of my favorite in the set. Who doesn't want a favorite photo to be on a durable, handy result of gel medium.
