Aplying inspiration to my work

I have been using inspiration form The Kooks album cover to bring together paint and photography to see if this would be a good idea for the background for the images I am creating to represent each line of the poem. I have been using photographs that I took when I went for a walk and bluring part of the picture using paint and leaving a section of it without paint so that it is clearer than the rest of the image. I feel that this worked really well and made the whole image look as though it was moving really quickly out of sight.
