This is for What Would U[tata] Do? No. 1 in which someone contributes a photo and other Utatans take it and do something with it. Follow the link to the thread to see the original photo by Carpe Icthus and variations thereon.
The original photo was part of a Post Katrina set which I didn't realize at the time. Not knowing this, I had encountered the photo with a different mindset and consequent plan than what might have happened had I known it was a Katrina photo. My first thought on seeing the photo had been "in the name of god" manhandling govt., taking on a patriotic mantle.
It's not about "right" or "wrong". There is no correct method or style of processing. Some folks even claim a great photograph is started in the field but finished in the darkroom. We're not sure whether that's true or false but we're pretty willing to experiment!
The project asks the question "If the (above) sample photo came off of your camera, what would you do?"
You can either do your usual "I do this to most of my photos" thing; or you can do your special "I do this when I need to make a shot more interesting" thing.
