A View Of My Dreams

A View Of My Dreams
A View Of My Dreams
This was created a few years ago and is a compilation of several photographs put into a surreal landscape I created.
Back in those days I made objects taken from different photos by cutting them out pixel by pixel.
I used a 2mp camera back then so the cutting process was easy.
The white face was created using a filter..I do not recall which one, plus inserting real eyes for the ghostly effect.
Objects were re-sized or distorted to make the scene more dreamlike.
I had some bizarre dreams in those days and this is one of them.
