Swipe of the Censor's Brush

'Swipe of the Censor's Brush' On Black
For the Iron Photography 15 project in the UTATA Group.
The project was to create a new photograph with the following three elements in it.....
1. Must have any type of brush in it (hair, toothbrush, etc)
2. Must have something crumpled in it.
3. The photo must be overexposed.
I wanted to play with the the definition of "overexposed" as well, but having an overly exposed male nude in it. :o)
Oh, and yes.......I did ruin a perfectly good 8x10 photograph from my portfolio for this! If anyone would like to buy the actual remains of this photo...let me know. I'm sure the dried acrylic paint will peel off the good parts. hehe
The Iron Photographer Challenge
Here are your new elements:
1 - a brush
2 - something crumpled
3 - creatively overexposed
The brush can be any sort of brush. Toothbrush, hair brush, shoe brush, it doesn't matter. It simple needs to be readily apparent that it's a brush. We realize that something crumpled is pretty vague. We simply mean a thing that is crushed, creased, collapsed in on itself. A tin can, a sheet of paper, a milk carton, a cardboard box. It doesn't matter if you crumple it yourself or if you find it crumpled.
Here comes the more difficult element: creatively overexposed. What the hell does that mean? It means you have to disregard the traditional rules of exposure. If your camera suggests you shoot the photo at f5.6 and 1/60th of a second, you tell your camera to get stuffed. Expose it longer, or use a larger aperture...you choose. Or you can choose to overexpose the image in post processing. It's entirely up to you.
So, here we are, ready to step into Iron Photographer 15. So get out there and overexpose yourselves.
