For the color series I shot a few different sets of subjects. One of the sets was of wild plants growing in the city that were covered or surrounded by trash and litter and other man-made materials. This photo is an up close shot of some plants that were covered in large sheets of plastic, completely suffocating them. The strange ripples in the photo are from the creases and folds of the plastic material. There is also dirt and drops of water sitting on the plastic. For all of the pictures in this series I used different light settings when taking the photos and experimenting with settings that did not match up with the type of light that was actually available (such as using incandescent light setting outdoors in the daytime) to generate some interesting colors that are not exactly true to reality. Then I edited them all in photoshop using levels, curves, and brightness/contrast adjustment layers just to tweek the colors to where I thought they looked the most attractive or interesting.
