What's your Issue? -- Montage/Collage

rules
all materials must be scanned or photographed. no web imagery -- well... unless they are printed and rescanned. 
if text/letterforms are used -- it must be "found" text/letterforms -- you may not use the title tool -- unless you use the same loophole as above

Photoshop Selection tools, masking, copy/paste, layers, file structure, and organization will be used extensively for this project. As a result, file sizes will be quite large. Consideration of Repetition, Symmetry, Positive/Negative Space, Open/Closed Composition, and image clarity will enhance and make aesthetic the "issue" that is represented conceptually through this work.
