Description
I printed this using a negative and positive transparency of a black and white image. I used all colors but only printed them in certain areas. The image was shot at grapevine lake after sundown with the moon just at the top of the frame like a little speck of light. This print gives the impression of night. This image is about life on earth, and the marvelous accidents that occurred to allow humans to evolve from basic elements to complex machines capable of dreaming to reach other worlds.
