Full view please.

Please be kind, this is my first real crack at a full photo manip. -_-; I edited out the text floating above his head because it bothered me to much, the text will be in the accompying page of the book.

The first of a series of 10 pages for an art project in which I am supposed to make a book. My book will contain quotes from various 18th~19th century writers and will incorporate their portraits with the quote. I have until next Thursday to get all 10 done @,@

This is a portrait of Henry David Thoreau, one of my favorite writers. Along with this page will be one of his passages:

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion."
