Flutterdown
Flutterdown
This would have been a great abstract photograph of water flowing over rocks in a Colorado stream — if only that darn duck hadn’t spoiled the shot by swimming into the frame in the lower, right-hand corner.
The duck is an optical illusion, of course, but that’s the attraction of these hallucinatory images that make up my Insistent Illusions collection.
These images often appear at first glance as abstract and chaotic, but as your gaze lingers, amazing figurative shapes begin to appear. The effect is particularly entertaining when the images are viewed in low light and under the effects of your favorite intoxicant.
Flutterdown was photographed at the Dallas Creek, somewhere north of Telluride. I captured a number of exotic images there, including Subrosagator and Ghostwater, which I’ll post later on.
All of my photographs are available in various sizes, from 12 x 18-inches, up to 24 x 36-inches, on paper or canvas. If you’d like a free, postcard-size sample of this image, contact me by leaving a comment.
