POTD: Conjuring Freedom
Conjuring Freedom

2016
This composite image resulting from some messing around I did after looking at some MC Escher prints on line and getting inspired by the one shown below.
My image is composed of four separate photos (or parts thereof). The background is a photo of a desk in Paris, at the

POTD: Finding Equilibrium
Finding Equilibrium
Bozeman, Montana
2016
This composite image was developed on kind of a parallel track with the one from yesterday. Although I like the more minimal look of this one, I’m not sure if it’s complete yet or not. It might benefit from some additional elements around the circle and also maybe a colored background of some sort (although the pristine look with the plain white background is appealing in it’s own way). I guess it’s a work in progress.

The graphic in the center is the Chinese symbol for crows, ravens, and also corvids in general I believe.

POTD: The Roost
The Roost
Bozeman, Montana
2015
I’m going to move away from the China photos now in favor of some composite images I’ve been working on. If you want to see more of the China photos, I’m working on galleries on my website. There are still a couple of collections to go yet but there’re a lot to look at there that have not appeared as POTDs. Check it out here.
I call this image the roost as I envision this being a flock of crows (murder if you will) gathering for the evening. All of the crows shown were photographed on wires, sometimes in groups, but not necessarily as close together as they are here. The background is actually made of two layers. The first (the one that shows the concentric rings, suggesting sunlight radiating through clouds) was actually a pattern I saw on the lid of a trashcan in a park one day. The other image is of spray paint patterns on cardboard that I posted as a separate POTD a couple of years ago. (See it here, and an explanation for why it’s called “The Process” here.)

This image nicely illustrates the mixture of old and new styles and technology that is pervasive in China.

I saw this gentleman set up on the sidewalk across from our hotel on several occasions. With his simple equipment, he seemed quite adept at fixing shoes, clothes and what have you.
