Memories of hope
April 15, 2007 |
[-photography, digital art-]
This locally sunny (woke up to snow, but the sky has ‘blued-up’ nicely) Sunday, I’ve chosen a photograph by baywhale.
His abstract images use reflection, transparency, colour, texture, words and numbers to bring us in close to his unique view of an urban world. Fragments of walls, windows, surfaces - rusted, painted, peeling, dirty - are transformed into visually rich, deep and poetic works of art. In addition, he uses titles to expand upon and offer glimpses (though no simple explanations) into his own interpretation of these images.
Here’s a tutorial that baywhale was kind enough to do for The PCQ on the technique he uses to make what he describes as “photosandwiches.”
Thanks, Baywhale!

Of his Adventures in Wonderland set, Bay says,
I see this set as ‘pure’ art, the deep and dark psychology takes place when I take the individual pictures but when I combine them it’s all about pleasure.
Baywhale, a computer operator in London, is also a proponent of the World Community Grid, a painless way to contribute to our world. Information on his World Community Grid group can be found at the flickr group, The Painless Charity of the Amazing Secret Angels- photograhers who flickr
