Surreally

Man Ray used Surrealism mostly with portraits or human forms. His art was directly involved by this early XXth century movement. He used photography as an alternative to painting. Consequently, his portfolio reveals a careful artistic composition derived from an artist's vision.
Yet in photography, there exists other options to carry on a surrealistic feeling. Reflection is one, light another. So when combining the two together, the outcome may sometimes be totally unexpected...
What is mostly important in photography is the eye you bring on the environment, knowing that it can only be captured in the instant.
Today's blip is an attempt to this endeavor. The vision was accidental and captured in a moment of psychological emotion saying 'here is something unusual'. This is what the eye revealed. But then, it needs to be visually artistic. So, choosing the right angle becomes a photographic requirement. Finally, the last step is editing. Nowadays, we have tools that enable us to alter the original shot to put a final touch to the image in relation of what you want to get.
There are three dimensions to today's blip: the reality on the lower foreground, then the reflecting glass through which one can see another blurred reality.

Photography offers us many ways of exploring the world and often enough to change it in just a brief click.
