Boy with butterfly wings....

Inspired by the work of Maggie Taylor..... this is a combination of 19th century photographs found at antique stores and my own photographs and/or scans of objects. All manipulated to completion in Photoshop CS2.

Really curious as to what others think about this... This is a

combination of 19 century photography and my own photography and

scanography. Inspired by the work of the lovely Maggie Taylor. I've

done relatively few of these.... enjoyable but alas definitely more

"Maggie" than "Michelle". And yes probably far more *mixed medium*

than photography, but ahhhh well.......

Great work.

Hi my friend excellent image.

nice work!

Good work. Worth further exploration for sure. I have wondered myself about scanning as a means of photography. The scanner does in a manner take pictures.

I like the orange highlights within your picture. I like antique photographs also,they have character (I'm actually inspired to dig through my 'archives' now!).

The butterfly wings add an abstract touch to the picture. I can't help but to notice the contrast between the butterfly wings and the mouse belly up on the lower left corner...very intersting contradicting images. I myself like alterations-they cross the border between photos and abstract paintings & invite the imagination (within artwork, borders are meant to be crossed-there should be no guidelines!)....good work! Take care.
