Time Machine


Made this composition in my photomontage class for a created background assignment.  We had to take an image of our choosing, duplicate it, flip it, then run it through the blending modes.   I used a macro shot of the glass orb lamp bases I made last year at Hotel DeLuxe in Portland.  (Great hotel, btw!  They have yummy, yummy martinis at Gracie's bar.)  You can see the original photo below.  I loved the natural light reflecting and distorting through the orbs as well as the soft sand colors of the drapery on a cloudy day.  And I spent an hour or so in my hotel room happily making other variations on this shot.  The blended photomontage with difference mode is quite a thing to look at, isn't it!  I love it!
