Canvas to the Imagination

Taken at Lighthouse Park in Vancouver with my Holga 120 CFN. Sometimes the Holga is surprisingly sharp.

In preparation of taking a break from Flickr for two weeks I had to select a series of images to pull from Flickr to post on my photoblog. (The break was at the suggestion of a friend, and it is a long overdue thing I’ve wanted to do. ) It was interesting having to choose eight or nine images at the same time, because I usually tend to do this spontaneously as I create an entry.

This image was created in Adobe Photoshop from three separate photos. It looks dramatically darker on the monitor I’m currently viewing it on, which gives it a completely different atmosphere than I’d intended - more menacing than mysterious and ethereal.

I have a short article about my self-portraiture work in the April issue of Vein Magazine. Their current theme is “Portraits: both sides of the lens.” Please go check it out.
