Surreal Photoshop Quirks

I am a traditional black and white photographer, but absolutely admire all the quirks to photoshop manipulation! Recent works!
Note: Solely photo retouching used to soften skin and background of image. Image was photographed with subject "as is". No additional elements have been added.

CAUTION:
Some worms were harmed during this shoot, they're real.


ATTENTION WORMS, MAGGOTS AND CRICKETS:
Please be aware and utterly frightened of Serana Rose. She will devour you!

Show Devils

A sneak peek at photos with the Show Devils, Enigma and Serana Rose. It was Serana's un-birthday, and she had a tea party! But of course it was not your regular tea party . . . .

Top Favorite Director- Jean Luc Godard

I am intrigued by Jean-Luc Godard and his films. He is considered one of the radical film makers of the French New Wave. After watching a few of them, I have been awed by his scenes and the imagery integrated in his films.

Favorite Quotes:

"I don't think you should FEEL about a movie. You should feel about a woman. You can't kiss a movie."

"A story should have a beginning, a middle and an end, but not necessarily in that order."

Personally, I think the last quote is the epitome of Jean-Luc Godard's films.

Here are the two photos I submitted to the Photography Salon for this August. I hope the judges understand my photographs and enjoy them. If they don't, I will not be disappointed, since I have my own reasons for why I love them and wanted to submit them into the fair. I hope you all enjoy them.
