| The Island At the center of the island, the carved monolith stirs from dreams of earth and wave... |
Like many things, I began a small photo project using mirrored images a couple years ago, and then it fell to the wayside. I had a little time at lunch the other day, and fooled around again with a few images. Nothing fancy, simply mirroring scenes to create surreal landscapes, and infusing them with story. The effort boiled down to finding interesting forms that would mirror well and create something new and different from the original photos. The captions are just hints of accompanying story. (best seen in original size)
Among the strictly mirrored versions, the doubled effect at the joined edge sometimes produced odd and alien symmetries. The images below were among those that struck me as appearing to be natural temples of some ancient and unknowable denizens. That's perhaps making a little much of some minor photoshopping gimmick, but that's what suppressed and under utilized creativity will get you...

| Dryad's Rest Boats of leaf slid like knives through the mercurial waters of the sacred pool, bringing their daughters to the grove's heart... |

| Shaman's Call Plaintive flutes bring stony feet lurching forth from the entrance to the Underworld... |

| Herne's Holt And the wild hunt spread out in tendrils across the landscape, thrust forth in the limbs of oaks... |

| Sentinel Gate Whispers flew out on silent feathers, proclaiming to the quiet sojourner "the way has been made open"... |

| The Chicken Throne The map on the pueblo wall warned of the dire consequences of disturbing El Pollo Grande.. |
