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.
