Hot Fun In The Summer Time   

Loopers

My follow up to Robert’s cool image started at the hardware store. I bought a bunch of stuff that could be shaped into an infinity loop, my inspiration from his image. In working with the loop, I tried many iterations, some that were perfect infinity loops and some less so. In reviewing my options in Photoshop, I kept coming back to the less perfect loop, it seemed to have more character, informality and spontaneity than the “perfect” ones. It also has some optical illusion twists that I liked. Finally I added a droplet ripple to give the image more connection between the elements. Please post a comment if you like this image, it was conceptualized and produced within 24hrs.

Awesome Russ. I noticed the water ripple immediately and it completely grounded your infinity loop completing the illusion, it was, in fact, just floating there. Perfect inconsistencies in the lighting of the braided hose also added to the reality of the image.

Well done.
