Is it easy or even feasible to take regular pictures off your hard drive and turn them into photos that can pass for photo art?
I am decorating my next place in my head and I wanted to go with some nice art. I figured photography art would be nice, classy and masculine. One idea I was considering going with was an international architecture and street scenes theme, since I figured if I used only locations I'd actually been to, it would add an interesting touch of novelty and personality.
Then I figured, it would be a little cooler if they were all photos I had actually taken. I want to try converting ones from my own collection, though when I took them, I didn't really tae them from an artistic style mindset. Not ones that I am actually in mind you, that's a little too much, and kind of Griswald family vacation feeling. Just buildings and street scenes. I want them to come out so that if I didn't tell you they are my personal pictures, you wouldn't immediately realize it.
If I can get this to come out well, I'm thinking I can use some Temples and the royal palace in Thailand and maybe the market dristict , the national theatre and market square in Taiwan (its cool, it has a total NY times square style), some stuff from Spain, mayyyyyyyybe Japan (though I don't remember taking pictures of anything that intersting there) and maybe Iraq (IF I can get a shot of the perfume palace before I get out of here.)
