Once a week—or every so often—I will display one of my photos captured and/or processed with Instagram over the last week. It’s a way for me to show photography that usually is quite different from my regular work. The pictures are displayed without any comments, hoping they will stand on their own. But I still very much appreciate any comments you may have.
As always (though I am quite remiss in telling you), your work is professional and unique.
Thank you for the kind words.
Superb capture and arrangement.
Thank you, Vicki.
The colors and positioning of the model is quite intriguing Otto. This pulls up a variety of feelings – remembers and some subconscious- even primordial.
‘The viewer of art always adds something to the experience of art.’ Paraphrased Ed Rucha.
I think all artists hope to accomplish what Rucha points to. Art at its best is an exchange between the artist and the viewer of the art.
Love this one!!!It makes me think of Patrick Suskind “Parfume”

Don’t know Parfume. Of course, now I need to check it out. 🙂
A truly evocative image, the man in fetal position either escaping into or born of nature. Wonderfully thoughtful choice as always. Thank you Otto!
And thank you for the lovely words, Holly.
Very intriguing , Otto..
🙂
What an intriguing image. Even without answers to the multitude of questions I have, it’s beautiful and compelling.
I like to hear that a picture of mine raises question rather than giving answers. Thank you, Linda.
Most intriguing image, Otto. I dare want to ask you, if this a double exposure on real film, or a great creation in photoshop.
It’s two exposures, with and without the figure, put together in ‘Photoshop. 🙂
Ah, wonderful, thank you for sharing, Otto.
Wow, that is such an unusual image, Otto. Sad and beautiful and touching and melancholy….
Thank you, Reggie.
Mysterious.
Thanks for the feedback.
Very nice compositing picture. Love how you blended the images together. The lying down man is almost part of the surrounding if you do not pay attention, just his skin tone that brought him out. Surreal!
Exactly what I wanted to achieve. 🙂
This pains me. I don’t know why.
Your artwork continuously moves me — morning coffee and art. In that sense, perfection.
Not all art is necessarily pleasing. And of course each person sees differently. I agree with you, coffee and art is at least pretty close to perfection.
Art evokes a feeling. It’s a beautiful piece, it just makes me sad.
Again, perfect morning with my coffee. It’s beautiful. Dont misunderstand me. If I felt nothing, that would be a bad thing.
🤗
Nothing is worse that art that doesn’t evoke any reactions.
I’m thinking fairies and Rip Van Winkle, magic and lost time. Love it 🙂
Thank you, Linda.
A beautiful composition.
Thank you, Robert.
You’re welcome!
Superb!
Thank you, John.
At one with Mother Nature-great textures!
Yes, in one, indeed. 🙂
oh man… this reminds me of that double exposure i was working on, in the 80’s… with a view camera, for 3 months!!! before i gave up!!
and now i’m sad, coz it’s so easy to do these day… but i won’t do it!! haha
well, i mean it was easier than back then!
No doubt the digital technology has made photography much easier—at least the technical aspect of it.
Very cool!
Thank you, Denise.
This may be, in my recollection, one of your most unique offerings, Otto. I could so easily see it hanging in a museum, actually. Absolutely fascinating and beautiful!
Wow, thank you for those lovely words, Debra.
OMG I agree with Dakub. It has a Patrick Suskind feel. You have to read his novel Otto. Love your shot, especially the shadow of the leaves on the skin. I also like the way the model is positioned as it reminds me of a fetus and life. This is a very creative picture. Love it.
Thank you for the lovely feedback. Yes, I need to read the novel, no doubt.
I find myself really intrigued with this image. The detail pulls you in to examine it closer. A very good story could be written around it.
Thank you so much, Michelle.
Your beautiful image brings to mind death and rebirth. Mysterious and compelling, Otto.
I like the idea of it representing the cycle of life.
