Untitled 911170 photomontage © 2019 – Howard Faxon
For this week’s ‘Fridays In Black and White’ here is a brand new photomontage from the surreal collage group of images. There is no title yet and maybe it won’t get one. It does suffer a bit at a small size because it is a dark image. The monochrome purist in me apologizes for the element of color in there. This is the best new black and white image I have sitting around right now so I pushed the rules a bit.
It’s just a vague dreamlike work and probably is best interpreted by the viewer. This reminds me of the Jungian idea of why oracles work. The oracle works because it must be interpreted by the receiver. Through this act of interpretation the true knowledge or desire of the subconscious mind is unknowingly revealed. It can’t do otherwise. Anyway, please enjoy “Untitled 911170”.
Great article, beautiful picture
I don’t mind the color, but then I’ve never been much of a purist…
… and rules are made to be broken. I thought it looked funny like a real fly sitting on the glass covering a picture, … These digital things have a tendency to stay flat and I do try to sabotage that. Most of my tricks are pretty out in the open.
I don’t argue with results…
Excellent photomontage, my friend
I appreciate you stopping in! Thanks very much. Cheers
With great pleasure, my friend
Very nice post thanks for sharing
I’m glad you stopped by – thanks so very much.
I have to say that I love the touch of green.
Thanks so much. A small indiscretion on “Fridays in Black and White”.
Thanks for stopping in.
Very interesting post , Thank you for sharing
Thanks so very much Witty.
I struggle myself to put some type of title or classification for this one. Very interesting.
The truth is that a lot of my stuff has a randomness to its making. I’m trying things purely in visual terms. I should post some older abstract, colorful, happy stuff.
Thanks Linda!
The construct of man vs nature represented well here. The maelstrom, in the shape of a giant bird, preparing to pounce, the innocent animals not knowing what is coming.
sorry, it was dark and my mind wandered.
Your wandering is something that we all enjoy. Never apologize for sharing a different view! (Gosh sorry I got bossy!)
Back to abstracts and boats and nature … My new stuff is going a bit dark I think. Sometimes the elements just get stuck into things without much thought. Oh, I found out that the “Save me” boat is being deconstructed. The contract is signed and it’s a done deal. It’s a dead boat. It was made in Antioch, Ca. in the ’50’s. People just call her the Fulton – that refers to where it was born. They were telling me that there is really nice woodwork inside there. The Fulton sat in the water for several years derelict. Sad news.
I think I hear a series coming. The deconstruction of man!
I don’t mind the darker stuff, your work makes me think!
Hope this link works – article about the boat – https://www.ptleader.com/stories/time-is-up-for-historic-tugboat-set-to-be-demolished,63071?
