The very nature of photography is slicing time. Photographs are based on exposure to light, be it film or sensor and usually lasting only a fraction of a second. But in that unique moment, magic is made, never to be repeated, for seasons change, expressions are different, and nothing is static. It’s just a click, but one of endless boundaries and imagination, pausing time, and never to be captured again.

This is a crude attempt at photo compositing. For years, I've admired photographers creating surrealistic images. My favorite photo surrealists are Maggie Taylor, Dominic Rouse, and Jerry Uelsmann. It's very difficult to perform. One is faced with a black page and the limitations of their imagination. There is also the difficulty of digital extractions - cutting out portions of a photo. I like images that play with our minds by breaking physical rules. Here the elephant creates a ripple in the sky. Of course, it doesn't make sense but that's the purpose - it's simply a dream.
