Stolen Carbon

Too Many Kids? Have Some Wars

Here is my Stolen Carbon series. The actual prints are 17" by 36" (pretty big!). I've been working on 'em more or less all semester in one of my photo classes. The project started out as me building sets and characters out of wax and clay, but evolved into me spending 25-30 hours carving relief sculptures into some large scented candles with a soldering iron, then macro-shooting them all the way around in three levels and blending a few hundred pictures together in Photoshop (which took much longer). The soldering iron's plastic casing actually melted away in my hand (prompting a slightly-early finish to the carving).
