Dreams and ships

For this week's photo image I was partially inspired by http://sevenblueseas.blogspot.com/ and her very lovely group of pirates. But the direction I wanted to go with this image was something definitely more dark and creepy to fit in more with the Halloween season which I love.

This image is a part of my Dreamscape series. All the photos in this series are made using multiple images, all which are mine, manipulate and combined together to create a new surreal like scene that becomes my best interpretation of what a paused dream might look like.
A lot of the photos I use for the Dreamscape series are taken when I travel. Many times when I am out and about on vacation I take of photo of something that speaks to the creative side of me and reminds me of a part of my childhood. After I get home and go through what all I had captured I will tag photos that have the right elements for future projects. For this image I got a lot of my elements from a beach trip last summer in North Carolina. A dolphin tour provided the ships and a stormy day the wonderful cloud cover. The water for the ocean was a combination of the waters of the Florida Keys, North Carolina and Niagara Falls.
I hope you enjoy this week's image "Shipwrecked"
