Picnic Dreams

This picnic table, framed by the mountains and seemingly afloat on the waters of a placid lake, is straight out of a dream.  The fisheye lens blurs the harsh lines of reality and invites us to retreat from the hassels of day-to-day life.  The image is like a sphere of serenity–the image a bubble reflects as it floats away.

  1. Wow this is awesome. I can almost see the water moving. The way the edges blurr on the bubble cropping makes your vision get sucked into the “dream”. Very claming and strange, i like it.

    1. Olivia,
      Thanks so much for your comment. I always love getting feedback on pieces. Picnic Dreams has always been a favorite of mine.

  2. I am a big fan of this piece as well. It has an eerie yet comforting feel to it. It is aptly named as it conjures up memories of long-forgotten dreams. Awesome!
