The fleeting, breath taking beauty often seen in natural landscapes, defies improvement. However, it has been my goal in the Natural Kaleidoscope Portfolio to redefine such scenes in a way that pulls the viewer into a new, puzzling, kaleidoscopic, magical, and imaginary universe. Employing digital manipulation, the existing rhythms of natural color, light, and reflections from my photographs have been transformed. The results can be found is this series of complex images, which reveal colorful mosaics of visually contradictory, mysterious spaces. The photographs have been synthesized from selected images in my portfolios of the Oregon & California Pacific coast, the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond, Virginia; the cherry blossoms at Kenwood in Bethesda, Maryland; the Rain Forest in Washington’s Olympic Peninsula; Great Falls National Park in Maryland & Virginia; and waterfalls in Ithaca, New York.
