I “Peeled” The Layers Of The Visible World To See What Lies Beneath The Surface Of Boston

First and foremost, I am a novelist. But sometimes stories need telling in a different way, so photography is a hobby.

Here I imagined what might lie beneath the surface if we peeled back layers of our visible world. In this case, Boston, MA. Working over my own photos, I revealed imaginative possibilities!

    I am an author, a creative, a loud-mouthed, opinionated introvert. Geek. Nerd. Proud Hufflepuff. Sometimes I take photos and make stuff with them (or leave them as is...)

    Hey peeps - quick note from yours truly -- it's okay if this isn't your thing. :) Art is subjective and all things are not for all people. Totally okay!!! And what was not included in the original post, and there are no edit options, is that these are digital art photos and the sketch parts CC images from pixabay that fit with my photos. :) Peace!

    I'd rather see the historical parts of the city.

    That's a cool idea. You should do that! Tho some of these are around historical parts. I just happened to use photos I already had the lent themselves to the composition as opposed to goimg out to shoot with this in mind.

    I did voice my opinion in a dumb way tbh. Instead I'll just say that this isn't for me, as I am a traditionalist when it comes to art: painting, drawing, photography, writing.
