This image was based on an original photo of an abandoned building on the Swiss-Italian border. I liked the icy backdrop of the building and the interesting cupola on its top. Since the other parts of the building were less interesting, I used the building photo to create two buildings to make them appear to be sliding into the icy abyss with the pointed top of the buildings'cupolas engaged as if in a duel.
My professional background is in university administration. I am an amateur photographer whose interests are primarily in abstract and experimental, modern art photography. I also enjoy more traditional travel-related photography focused mainly in the areas of architecture, nature and landscapes. Some of my early photography accompanied the pages of an online literary magazine. In addition, I am the author of two published mystery novels for which I designed the cover art.
