The way the image above evolved was that I came upon a public domain photo of the façade of a New York apartment building. I thought it was wonderful and began playing with a copy, trying to equalize the saturation and draw out additional details. As I proceeded, I found the open window intriguing. Stories began to occur to me. The one I was most attracted to was of something having escaped into the sky. The eagle is from a stock photo I found on the web and purchased permission to use. That’s me reaching after the bird.
Any thoughts you might care to share on this piece would be most welcome.
Without reading the text I could see it was you reaching out the window, but my first though was that you were setting the bird free. Beautiful work
Thanks very much for your thoughts, Scott. I’m probably spoiling some of the fun by saying anything about an image I post. I mean, when someone sees a photo hanging on a wall there generally isn’t some distracting prose by the author beside it. I think whatever the viewer sees and brings of themself to the piece is all that matters. Much love, bother.
