The mystery and simplicity of the distorted perspective of this glass box, further distorted by a wind-damaged plastic tarp, stopped me from pursuing (for now) the direction I had originally planned to go.

Ditto.

Not too far from the decadence of the Strip is one of the most holy places I've ever been. This piece I did in memoriam to a man who died two years ago, but I only just recently became aware of his passing. A gentle man of the land.

Continuing from last week, I created a grid to go over #266, and after fussing with the values as a black and white image, I turned off the desaturation layer and found this to be far more intriguing than its BW version. Getting the balance right first in grayscale really helped the dynamics of this piece.
