13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Winter Sunrise

This is one of the first photos I took of the sunrise in front of my home. This particular morning I remember being captivated by it so I took several shots with my smartphone. I ended up making several altered images and I meditated on it all winter long. It took me into the subject of the mysterious dark energy that controls 95% of our Universe.
