| Below you'll find some of the original photograpsh that make up Be Unbroken, as well as some details of the image itself. The figures were originally a human model, but I'm only showing them as they appeared in Be Unbroken's world. Enjoy. |
| These four photographs from the tip of the North Jetty of Humboldt Bay, California, are the foundation of the image Be Unbroken. |
|
| This figure was shot on location out at the tip of the Jetty in a pose that would show it gripping the Well and its rim, which were created afterword--there was no Well or rim there at the time, of course. The two figure details also show the construction of the Well's rim pretty well. I built the rim from scratch within Photoshop. |
|
| This figure was shot back in the studio. I had originally thought of the image as having a single figure, but later I thought this one would balance it out compositionally. It's the same model as the other figure... Ok, ok--I was the model! |

| From the Artwaves introduction...
Dreamtime adventures, flights of fancy, travels in thought--the unseeing observer may have nothing to report from his or her experiences with these phenomena. Such things aren’t real and have no bearing on reality.
You and I both know there is more to them than that. A lot more. Just the other day I recalled a childhood dream that had frightened me as a little boy. In a flight of fancy, I opened Photoshop and painted the image I had seen in my dream. It was a human head and shoulders silhouetted against unbearable light that flew out in rays from behind the figure. I was glad to finally have an image after all these years that I could hold and think, “Yes, that’s what it looked like, all right.”
Then later, as I fiddled with another image, my thoughts traveled to the world’s international tensions and our place in it. A Flag with a big Eye started to emerge from the pixels. That big Eye in the Flag sort of makes one think… I decided I would stick into that Eye the scary figure from my childhood dream. They do say that all things are connected.
This is a collection of images I made along my journeys through thought and fancy, dreams and subconscious passages. Pictures I took out the window. Postcards from the imagination. A slide show of the mindscape.
