This assignment was to insert yourself into a photograph from history. I used this photograph from Woodstock in 1969. I used the software Gimp after messing around not wanting to download anything onto my computer. I had a hard time at first, I really didn’t want to clog my laptop with a software that I most likely would not use a lot, but I caved and downloaded Gimp because everything else on the internet is a cheap fail. I chose this image because all of the Woodstock images are extremely busy, but there was this one of this girl and I knew it would be perfect for my face. I always wished I could have attended this music festival, I think it is such a cool part of history. A huge part of me roots for peace and love, I wish the world could be simple enough for things like peace and love. I obviously couldn’t make it to Woodstock, but this image makes it feel like I was ALMOST there.
