Exploration #35

Invisible City

Using your imagination, create a portrait of your city or town in which everything you encounter is magical, exaggerated, or slightly altered from reality. 

Magical:

I started my exploration by photographing items around my house that seemed "magical", the prism, my cats eye, dew on blades of grass, bumble bees on our lavender bushes, etc.

Slightly altered from reality:

The fish eye/ light tunnel effect was created by photographing items around my house through a glass: Kooba (my dog), a soap dispenser, the grill, flowers, patio door, painted rocks from the garden, tomatoes, etc...
