LAST Week (not this week - yes I'm behind) Northy @northy gave me the get pushed challenge
of "doing a collage in the style of David Hilliard..." She offered me alternates: "if not, another idea i had was to take pictures of things that look like letters, and create a collage to spell a word... alternatively, take photos of letters in different styles / fonts and make a collage like an anonymous note..."
I did start looking for letters and photographed a few. But I had to offer a rain check as I just didn't have time to finish and meet the challenge during that week. Since then, I thought of a set-up I wanted to do using my friends as models for the David Hilliard thing, but again didn't get it done before they left. Yesterday, looking through the pictures I took in Abilene last Saturday, I found a couple that seemed to echo Hilliard's way of capturing people in the same frame but not really engaged with each other.
This was taken on the train that we all -- family and friends -- had gone to Abilene together to ride. One of my sister's grandson's loves trains; he had ridden it a couple of years ago when they visited and wanted to go again.
This one's really good! I've taken many pictures inspired by David Hilliard for a school project but this one really fits in to his work with the colors and everything!
