this is actually from a photo of my wife on our wedding day. If you look above her right eye in the middle of the wreath, you will see a little gold 'nike' symbol. I teased the gold using liquify in photoshop. When we create, the more doors we open, the more opportunities we create. I have learned more and grown more from the film I have wasted fooling around than any class I ever took. I'm going to post an image called Water Fly right now--it combines both the real and the sureal.
This is really interesting. The fact that it originated from a photo (or photos) is peculiar, as it's become quite non-representative. I suppose technically it's an abstraction of something, so I'll give that to you, but still, you'd be hard-pressed defending it. ;-)
