First re-action? I'd have dumped it as it looks like something went wrong with camera or photographer in a wild & crazy moment of imagination. Or it's the results of a severely suffering hung over artist photographer. :-) Now having said that, don't be offended and let me continue. Several years ago when I was the Assnt. Executive Producer of the National Film Board of Canada Still Division. I had to moderate and introduce a major exhibition created by a group of artist photographers, primarily art types using the photographic process to create their images rather than brush & paint. Yet they were still referred to as "photographers" when it had absolutely nothing to do with the taking of pictures as perceived when one thinks about photographs and photographers. In the days before the opening of the exhibition I walked around the gallery shaking my head not believing we were sponsoring such a pile of garbage when mega-dollars were involved! But the more times I did my walk about the more fascinating it became and I found I did very much like many of them. Not all, because some were truly garbage. Several were extremely enlightening due to the imagination of creation. So my respect for those who use the medium and process of photography in creating their art truly are a special breed who sit apart from every day photographers' such as myself and thousands of others. So this is to merely illustrate I do not speak without "photography art" experience. I find your image interesting and if I were a collector of B&W art photography I would surely have this in my collection. But wondered if it might not be more effective if in colour? ted
