I think Dave Wyman expresses an aspect of my approach to pictures in this reflection: a penchant for the incongruous and obscure. He made this image while I was searching for an incongruous exotic sight in a tide pool. (See what I was shooting by clicking on the thumbnail at the bottom. ) He abstracts me, and in the process reduces me to a presence, a symbol rather than a particular person. I was delighted with this view -- it could just as well serve as an example in my own reflection gallery at http://www.pbase.com/pnd1/reflections . Dave Wyman operated and led the photo-tour of Oregon that I was on when this image was made. His expressive pbase galleries can be viewed at http://www.pbase.com/davewyman
