This is my website.

This is a photo of Saint Francis. I found this statue at The National Cathedral, and then altered it in Photoshop. I threw a few filters on it, and changed the color range to hues of blue. For an anthropology class I am currently enrolled in, we are viewing the interactions of indigenous people of South America and the early Spanish missions. Often times the priests would give relatable interpretations of some biblical text. I.E. Shepherd would be changed to coconut protector, because they had no bases for what a sheep or a herder is when distanced so far from Europe. I decided to change the image giving a traditional Catholic figure a Spanish style filter. My goal was to connect the two into a single image. When viewed at the size I originally made it, the image has a graininess that is often found in South American artwork, however I am not sure it this size and resolution will present the image to its fullest degree.

I was just wondering how everyone defines digital history.
