Playing With My Photos

People often ask me what I like to photograph.  My answer is everything except families and set-up portraits.  I do photograph people, but it's mostly classified as street photography.  In December I started playing around with the concept of "grunge" photography.  I like to learn so I'll try just about anything related to learning in photography.  I'm having a lot of fun with learning grunge techniques.  It's amazing to me how I can take a "nothing" photograph and turn it into a piece of fairly "cool-looking" art.  There is, however, an art in taking a basic image that works for grunge and works from a compositional perspective as well.  The original image is on the top row and the altered finished image on the bottom row.
