A work of art in itself, JP. The vision for this frame is what makes phorography so unique and appealing in my opinion, one person’s eyes seeing what so many others would fail to see, perhaps even contemplate. Almost an overload of details and a realm of possibilities that has my mind racing. Wonderful work.

This is stunning…
I like all the visual ‘layers’ you’ve created here…
those splashes of vibrant color interact so nicely with the Sepia, too…
and that reflected portrait? Wonderful!

  Thanks SIG! It was the way all the different components created all these different layers that drew me to this scene.

Are the colors original or processed? Great timing..

  The colours are pretty much original – I applied a slight curves adjustment, but that’s it. The weird colour casts come from an electronic display opposite, which was changing colours constantly.

Such a great shot. The security guard makes this an interesting abstract.

  Thanks Ken. I had to wait a while for him (or anyone else) to walk into the right place in this shot, but it was worth it.
