Self Insertion

Original Photos

The Final Product

You may be saying to yourself, "did he even do anything to this picture? It's just a picture of him golfing." The answer to that question is yes I did. I took a photo of myself mid-swing from a recent tournament and inserted myself at one of the most famous holes on one of the most famous courses in the world. This is the 12th of at Augusta National during the Masters Tournament. The 12th hole is part of a three-hole stretch on the golf course called 'Amen Corner' and this hole in particular has been vital in the final rounds of the tournament ever year. It has seen both triumph and disaster. Although it is a short hole, it poses as a threat because of the water short and the bunkers that guard the back and front of the shallow putting surface. This is such a special place because it is the biggest golf tournament of the year and only the cream of the crop make it here every year to play. This is what every young golfer aspires towards, to be competing in The Masters at Augusta National. Being that I am a golfer here at UT and my ultimate goal in life and in golf is to compete in the Masters I figured this was the perfect opportunity for me to see what it would be like for me to actually be there. On top of all this, The Masters is only about 10 days away from beginning so it's the perfect time for this picture!

Artist Statement:

For this project I decided to illustrate the logo of one of my favorite companies- Beats. I struggled very much with this project just because I had never used code before in my entire life so it was all new for me. I had to use many resources to be sure I was inputting the correct code. Even then, there were countless times where my image just wouldn't show up when I wanted to because of one small mistake that was hard for me to identify. I found this project very difficult but I'm happy with my hard work to get this final product. I also believe that this may good be a good tool to be familiar with moving forward in my life.
