I Abstracted Oz Without Photoshop

I created this OZ series with an old-school Polaroid camera and film. These images are manipulated right in the photo emulsion and are not digitally enhanced in any way. Every abstraction is done by hand as the film develops. As in ceramics, many factors can influence the final result, so I count on “Happy Accidents.”

Several images were accepted into the Judy Garland Museum many years ago. I still watch The Wizard of Oz annually, it’s touching story is just part of the American Experience.

I am an art teacher with a following on my blog www.ArtEdGuru.com

Double Exposure, Dorothy and the Witch.

There’s no place like home…

Shocking

Flaming Fraud

The threat. (I like how the abstraction makes the witch look like a ghost and enhances the sense of movement.)

…and your little dog too!

Eye of the storm.

Celadon Gulch

A Proud Moment

Purple Rage

Stinger In Flight
