The creators of the following images are unknown to me. If you know add comments and I will credit.

 

 

Venetian masks are a centuries-old tradition of VeniceItaly. The masks are typically worn during the Carnevale (Carnival of Venice), but have been used on many other occasions in the past, usually as a device for hiding the wearer's identity and social status.

The mask would permit the wearer to act more freely in cases where he or she wanted to interact with other members of the society outside the bounds of identity and everyday convention. It was useful for a variety of purposes, some of them illicit or criminal, others just personal, such as romantic encounters.

Montage: The Abstract~Visionary Photography of Michael F Wolik

image - Quetzalcoatl

Michael F Wolik's reflection montage work is a culmination of artistic, natural, psychological, mystical and religious explorations. The reflections represent personal experiences as well as possible insights into the collective unconscious. The montages are created by reflecting abstract nature photographs without use of layering or filter manipulations. From capture to reflection my process requires minimal use of photoshop.
