Dueling Buildings

This digital photo manipulation was based on my original photo of an abandoned building on the Swiss-Italian border. I liked the icy backup of the building and the interesting cupola on its top. Since the other parts of the building were less interesting, I used the building photo to create two buildings that appear to be sliding into an icy abyss with the pointed top of the buildings’ cupolas engaged as if in a duel. I did not use a text prompt to generate this image.

My professional background is in university administration. I am an amateur photographer whose interests are primarily in digital abstract and experimental photography. I also enjoy more traditional travel-related photography focused mainly in the areas of architecture, nature and landscapes. Some of my early photography accompanied the pages of an online literary magazine. I am also the author of two published mystery novels, one for which I designed the cover art.
