17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Time Flying

This self-portrait composite illustrates that feeling you get when time has been “lost.” The woman is leaning back, unaware, while swinging from a watch in the clouds. The moody background and circling birds suggest she isn’t in a light-hearted daydream. Rather, she is headed for that sinking feeling when one realizes opportunities have been squandered.
