The name of this art photograph is: 'Snowflake Town'

There is no snow where I live. Not this year, I mean. Some people like it, some don't. My feelings are mixed. I love to be inside a warm room and watch the snow falling down. It eases up my mind and creates a warm sensation of being safe and sound. At least for me. When that gets mixed with a nice gentle music tune and kind people's company, everything falls right to its place. There are also all the fun games in the snow which were so important years ago. Nowadays, their main function is to take the mind off work and bring it to the careless times of childhood. It makes me live, and relive the moments, at the same time. For this reason, I like to have fun and play in the snow. :)

On the other hand, when looking from a grown-up perspective, it's not so much fun to clean the front yard or dig out a car under half a ton of white mass. And then the sleet, and wind, and the cold, and the dreaded ice on sidewalks. But, I prefer to see things from the children's perspective and to be feeling happy instead of being worried. Guess, it is a matter of choice, after all.

Since there is no snow, I took this single photograph (not double exposure) and composited it with itself, as to achieve the top mirror image. It would work almost as good without that, but I really prefer to have the top closed. It is highly stylized, as you can see, but the main idea is clear, even though the snowflakes are made of paper. Some snow falling over the city for all of us who yearn for it! :)

I created the washed out look to further imply the feeling of winter whiteness. The colours are there, but not there at the same time. If the blacks were denser, it would appear as if done by a "bleach bypass" process. I didn't go for this because the atmosphere of low contrast works way better. With strong blacks, the atmosphere would've been drowned in a heavy mood that would not fit it, at all.

Did you notice the butterfly wing? Could be some winter species, no one knows about! :D

Enjoy! :)
