Description I don't really want to inherit the earth.


edit 10.09.2012--
Well, after very much debate (read: years of inner dialogues), I think this photo would be more effective simply black and white.
...and yet, I'm still hesitant. I will upload the original color version into my scraps, and maybe some people will leave their thoughts.




edit 09.30.2008--
ohgollygoodnessgosh a DD for realzies??!?!! Thanks so much, RemiGarciaPhoto and evanhwong and of course to everyone who favorited and/or commented-- I YOU ALL AND APPRECIATE EVERY BIT SO MUCH!!
unfortunately, I'm currently behind in my Anthropology homework and have a big physics exam coming up later in the week, so I don't have time to thank you all individually/reply to each comment
But I promise I will try to when I get the time, and I really am grateful for everything

Ok, so I don't know if you've considered submitting this to 'green' magazines or organizations. This would greatly help bring out a point that many people still don't want to accept. This piece could go so far, not only with this movement.

Amazing work. Thank you.

sophiaazhou In reply to Ariella-Waters [2008-10-11 04:35:11 +0000 UTC]

hmm, no I haven't actually considered it; what is "green" magazines and do you know the details of how to submit to them? like if there are royalties or legal things or...?

thankyou so much

Ariella-Waters In reply to sophiaazhou [2008-10-11 07:31:41 +0000 UTC]

Well, I didn't put that much thought into it, but...

here are a few links for contests and magazines that might be of interest to you. They'll list the legal and royalty stuff there:

There are so many more out there. If you live in the US (I'm almost positive you do...), you can check out your state or local universities. There are dozens of local "green" papers and mags out there. You just gotta look.

I hope this helps!

Oh wow. The message is a very strong one, but the way you portrayed it is just so effective and striking! At first I really thought it was a gift, and when you realize just what those hands are holding, it leaves quite an impression. Beautiful job.

thanks!
well, unfortunately I can't remember exactly how I got this effect, but I believe it's something along the lines of desaturating one layer, then playing with variations and the color balance in another layer and changing the blending option (to what I don't remember), and some burning and dodging... basically, just playing around a bit with color balance and burn/dodge tools in photoshop...I'm sorry that wasn't very helpful
