A couple more in the Diet and Exercise collage series I've been working with on and off for a couple of years. More off than on lately, I think March or April was when I last worked on them.

Here's a couple collages from Diet and Exercise, a series I've been working on and off with for a few months now.

Some more collages from the Diet and Exercise series, which I've been working on sporadically for around the past year and a half. These three were made late last Fall.

These are recent collages from a small series I'm calling Diet and Exercise. I've made 19 of these so far, and will probably do a few more before being done with them.

Here's a few collages I threw together quickly a couple weeks ago. The background images are all photos I shot with an ultra wide-angle lens I bought a few months ago. They were shot for some other things I'm working on, and printed on a low end office laser printer, not a good photo printer, as I like the visual noise the cheap printer adds. The figures are all cut from various exercise books and  manuals, and are leftovers from the Diet And Exercise collage series I've been working on for the past couple of years.
Shooting with an ultra-wide lens often results in odd shifts in perspective, which allowed me to create surreal interactions between the figures and the drab backgrounds. Rotating the figures in unnatural positions seemed to amplify the surreal aspect, and made the perspective seem even odder.
