Gallery of Light and Shadows

My chromographs. It's very interesting to alter these images after looking at them for 25 years. Depth of perception changes, planes find new edges and angles, and there is a varied sense of movement. Plus, I think one of two of them are interesting in their own right.  All images Mark Hammons 2005
