Picture of the Week #113 "Concourse Migration" Santa Monica, California 2010 / 2011 Signed and Cut Out

This is a commission that I just completed for a friend and W/F Classic Cars in Santa Monica, California. His collection of 23 cars includes this beautiful 1956 Mercedes Benz Gull Wing Coupe. The concept was E.T. meets a flock of gull wings. The doors are opened to varying degrees to simulate the flapping wings of Sea Gulls. The back ground image is ten feet high by fifteen feet wide. Then, there are three cut outs coming out of the image on the sides creating a 3D effect. Jack Duganne the photoshop master, helped me on the computer work which included almost 100 layers and weeks of manipulation to finally get the full effect that I wanted. I believe this takes photography in a new direction.
