Light Box


I wanted to make an image that was mostly bright white and black, as I hoped the light from behind would make it look better than if there was a large variety of colors.  I took a picture of a tree and played with filters until it had a fluorescent quality to it.  When the final product was rotated ninety degrees, it looks less like a tree and more like an aerial view of a city.  The black trunk of the tree resembles rivers, while the white leaves are like lights of buildings.  It almost reminded me of an aerial picture of Venice, but with more white light areas.  This image might look good in the light box as the black and white, fluorescent quality contrasts well from the other, more colorful images.
