I stumbled upon a book on the history of photography and have found myself deeply engrossed and fascinated by it. I particularly like the surrealists which strikes me as odd. I say odd because I am generally a purist regarding the pictures I take and refuse to do anything to them other than cropping (Photoshop is the antichrist!). But something about what I was seeing struck a chord and I realized I could manipulate my photos to provide a whole new meaning to the term "mind's eye". As usual, click each photo for a better view.
What really surprised me about this whole affair is that I could let my mind run wild and see orchids as butterflies.
This little experiment has opened a whole new world for me. And, while I'm not ready to run out and buy Photoshop I will admit to being willing to see the world in a different way.
Superb and absolutely thought-provoking !
ReplyDeleteThanks for these great pictures, Cherrie.
Sorry I took so long to publish your post (didn't see that I had a comment) and have been working like mad of late. Glad you liked the photos though. I had the flowers and the leaf blown up and printed and now that both sit on the wall in my office.
