I love the idea of starting with an old photograph in your mind. Envisioning it in a recorded and faded form. It adds direction and a sense of age and timelessness to something you have yet to create. I love it, thanks for sharing.
There's real magic in being able to interpret a scene to convey a feeling or a mood. I think of it as like transposing a tune to a different key. Thanks! Love those shadows
