One of the things I enjoy most about Photoshop is the ability to explore images – to ask “What would happen if …?” Recently, I wondered what would happen if I constructed a mirror montage using one of my slot canyon abstractions. After duplicating and flipping the image, I began to cycle through the blending modes. When I selected “Difference” the result was magical. Exciting new shapes and colors appeared. As I explored more of these montages, it seemed to me that these shapes and colors captured the spirit of both the canyon country and the people who live there, so I named the images “Canyon Spirits.” Not all of my slot canyon abstractions contained canyon spirits, but may of them did. I’ve posted some of my favorites in a new gallery under my portfolio. Click here to see more Canyon Spirits.
