Anatomy of an Edit - I See Sap People
While hiking near Lake Arrowhead on a photo shoot, I discovered a tree trunk with sap dripping down the side. The colors were so brilliant that I took a few photos of it. While viewing on my iPad, the sap started to look like figures to me, so using Sketch Club, I drew some lines around the figures I found.
There seemed to be a gent with hands in his pocket on the left and I wanted to emphasize this figure.
The orange in the background started to resemble the side of a building as I worked so I added a window from another photo using the layers function Sketch Club app.
Back to Snapseed for some tuning and cropping.

Painterly Mobile Artist - Aylin Argun
Monday's Painterly Mobile Artist feature normally includes just one image that the artist has selected. This week I was sent two images by artist Aylin Argun for me to choose from. It was so hard to choose only one, so I decided to include both of them. You may know Aylin by her Instagram name @xxfromneptune.
Please visit the Painterly Mobile Art Flickr group to see more from Aylin and all of the artists! Do you like to edit in a painterly style? Please join the group, we'd love to have you!

The Artist
Aylin Argun - I live in İstanbul, Turkey I attended basic photography education and dark room seminars in 2005 at AFSAD (Ankara association of photographic artists). AFSAD is one of Turkey’s most prominent photographic training centers. I’ve been working on iPhone photography, editing and photographing via my iPhone for over two years. Along with black and white photographic works, I have been creating painterly photography with an emphasis on autobiography.
Aylin's Commentary
This Witch is About to Fly: A witch who can fly thanks to her red shoes. I took this photo with camera and self-timer. I turned it into a pictorial photograph on ArtRage. With paint tube, I added some red paint; I spread the paint as I wished with the help of the palette knife which I use frequently; sometimes using the Smearing Edge and sometimes Basic Palette Knife. After that, I added texture on the photo via ScratchCam.
Kirke: Kirke is a magician goddess in Greek Mythology (She was renowned for her vast knowledge of drugs and herbs. Through the use of magical potions and a wand, she transformed her enemies, or those who offender her, into animals. She was a minor goddess of magic or sometimes a nymph, witch, enchantress or sorceress.) I used only ArtRage and Snapseed for this photo; I created the brush effect via Palette Knife on ArtRage and I exercised contrast and brightness control on Snapseed.

The Artist
My name is Erika Carrillo Brothers, originally from Monterrey Mexico, and residing for the last 10 years in the US with my family where I was inspired and have great fascination for photography. About a year ago iPhone photography and app art become part of my daily activities, I love to create, blend and modify images to give them a finished painterly look, combining self-portraits and abstract concepts which is my main fascination as a concept.
Erika's Commentary
In this particular piece "Woman in the dark" are many layers of texture (I love the texture). I started to work with Superimpose with a black background, then used Snapseed to give contrasts of light and color, with little highlights to the facial features. I gave a little more texture to the piece by using iColorama, and finally I worked a lot with various combinations of layers in Modern Grunge to give the final finish I was looking for.

Please contact me using the contact form at the top of the blog. I'd love to feature more workflow posts so we can all learn from each other.

Memory Reconsolidation by Joshua Sariñana
I am fascinated by the many ways the iPhone aids artists and even neuroscientists in their work. With permission from Joshua Sariñana (neuroscientist and photographer), I am reposting an article he recently published on his own site. When asked what role the iPhone played in this particular series, Joshua provided me with this answer: "The original images were captured on multiple cameras, including my iPhone. All of the images were post processed on my phone and then transfered to polaroid film using my iPhone and the Impossible Universal Lab."
In this series of images, I aim to connect past and present through the reconciliation of disparate identities I’ve formed between two vastly different cultures on opposite sides of the United States (more specifically, Los Angles, CA and Cambridge, MA). These images are of emotionally salient and important points in my life. Using the circular frame to telescope back in time I conflate distinct representations of who I am. Some images are of solitary figures while others are superimposed upon one another, newer images with older ones. I reflect upon how poignant and hybrid photographs represent the unstable nature of memory and how the brain assembles narrative.
I utilize the neuropsychological process of memory reconsolidation to manipulate my memories. To induce memory reconsolidation I use established protocols from published neuroscience research articles. It has been shown that the brain regions activated by emotionally laden events can become re-activated when a powerful cue of that past event is presented. Cues can be anything, from the smell of a loved ones t-shirt, a picture of a childhood friend, or a melancholy song. When specific brain regions are re-activated (i.e., when memories are recalled) they also become unstable for a brief period of time, which creates an opportunity to alter the brain activity that represents that memory. New information or feelings can be inserted and integrated into our past experiences and potentially altered so much so that the original memory is simply no longer available.
Each of my images are cues that have the potential to destabilizes my past and during this time I can change the story of my life. I transfer my images to Polaroid camera film to provide a novel view of my past. As I look at each image I bring to mind as many details as I can that relate to that image. During recall I attend to my breathing, heart rate, and whether I feel sad, happy or anxious. I resist approaching memories that invoke anxiety, but in attending to my physiological response I can reduce the sense of dread by changing the state of my body. In changing the association of the image to the feelings of anxiety a new association is formed and the memory altered. We are unconscious of the process of reconsolidation, but the memories and their associated emotions that form our personal narratives are in constant flux. It may be hard to imagine that our memories – those of special occasions and loving moments, or of deeply-felt pain and distress – might be inaccurate. But in order to connect our past with our present, it is necessary that our memories be susceptible to change.
