Vision and Reality

by
Abelardo Morell

So I decided to draw inspiration from the slide show and from Abelardo Morell's camera obscura rooms. I had this idea that I'll take pictures of my home here in Arizona and use images I took at Disneyland to create a similar look. It will be a set of three images with two images combined. The main photo being of different rooms in my house and the overlay image of photos of landscape that I did at Disneyland and California Adventure. 
I am planning to do a side by side comparison of regular and infrared photography of landscape photography. I am planning on either Payson or Sedona as the subject.


I chose this picture for my vision and reality image for a couple reasons. The first being I am a fan of Dr who and it's constant manipulation of time and reality. The other reason is because I just recently finished building my own time travel devise and want to find a way to incorporate the reality of what I built in my back yard to the imagination I hope it will unleash in my children. I want to be able to send my viewers on a journey through a time vortex into the realms of infinite imagination and possibility; but first I have to figure out how to create my own visual Wibbly Wobbly Timey Whimey vortex. Anyone have any ideas?

I chose this photograph because I thought it illustrated how something that you see may not be real. It appears that there is a huge cavern in the middle of the street and that if you didn't watch your step you might fall into the abyss. Even the girl riding the bike has put a small piece of wood (bridge) to ride over the cavern. However, I suspect that this is artwork drawn on the street and therefore what you see my not be reality
