Fly South 1

A bronze compass "S" shot in Newport, Oregon combines with an airplane wing photographed in Tucson, Arizona. I then added, here and there, window reflections shot at Empire Mine in Grass Valley, California. A rusty cog sits on top of blue peeling paint, found on the Oregon coast. Silver medallions, rivets, numbers, etc. complete the look. Not yet available for sale. ©Carol Leigh For more photomontages, please visit http://www.carolleigh.net. Thank you.

Fly South 2

I shot an airplane wing at Pima Air Museum in Tucson, Arizona and combined it with a big bronze compass "S" photographed in Newport, Oregon. I then added handwriting, an old image of a French hot air balloon, stamps from my passport, and a page from an old algebra book (the best use for algebra I've ever found). Miscellaneous other items complete the mix. What I especially like are all the sharp angles contrasted with the S-curves in the letter and the wavy cancellation stamp covering it.
