Abstract Baby Rhinoceros

This digital image resulted from an original image of shadows on a window shade in my office. I liked their interesting shapes and when I further edited the photo and added some special effects, I saw a resemblance to a small rhino. While I used editing software with AI elements, I did not use a text prompt to create this image. It evolved from my original photo of window shadows.

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.
