My new interests as a contributor here on DT is in the creation of things that whirl around in my head. I find myself collecting things and textures. The one I am finding the most use for (at the moment) is this cracked asphalt driveway of a home in my neighborhood.
It is so compelling to look at and has so many uses. When I begin a new 'canvas' I spend much time developing the idea that it becomes my goal to have more than one finished product. Much like contributors on a shoot where they have their model pose in many ways or use many expressions. My goal is to have 2 to 3 uses for a subject matter.
In the case the texture was the driver of the imagery. Here are a few finished products using the cracked drive way. I use layers and streaks of colors at different opacities to achieve the tones and gold hues (gold is also a current favorite of mine... well that and blue!).

NOOO please don't tell them their driveway looks like a desert! I did a quick drive by shooting on their driveway so they don't know my real feelings! By the way the rest of my neighborhood isn't nearly as interesting! I guess that is good thing LOL.

Eti, you know you are my all-time PS hero and it just gets better and better. Wonderful work that I greatly admire... However, I think we should take up a collection to get your neighbor's driveway re-paved after you are done admiring the cracks. Do your neighbors know you have this fixation for their cracked driveway???

Yes everything is in Photoshop using many layers to create the mood and colors.
