Warhol & Cannabis

This was made from a poster I had hanging in my room back in those teenage days...The pop-art style and the arrangement are clearly Andy Warhol style which have been copied a lot of times. This one features cannabis leaves...

I mounted my camera on a tripod and did some experiments with zooming in during exposure. (you have to be quick!) This can create an interesting effect, it looks as if the leaves come flying out of the picture which is kind of supporting the topic...

I also wanted the image to look less photographic, less sterile so I used some filters on it to roughen it up a bit and made it more look like a painting.
