 In ancient Greek the word for butterfly is "Psyche", which translated means "soul".

The Day of the Dead a.k.a. El Dia de los Muertos is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd. During this time the sky over the Mexican mountain village of Anguangeo is strewn with flickers of fiery orange and browns. They are not from the colors of autumn leaves but from countless monarch butterflies concluding their journey to the hills covered in firs. The locals believe the monarchs are the returning spirits of their deceased relatives, inexplicably returning the same time every year. The ancient Aztecs believe that the dearly departed souls return as hummingbirds and butterflies. In the Japanese culture butterflies are thought to be representative of young maidens and marital bliss. Butterflies also symbolize: resurrection, transition, celebration, lightness, time and soul.  Symmetry is another manifestation of the balance of Yin and Yang, of the unimpeded flow of ch'i.

My designs start with one of my photographs.  I am compelled to immortalize and transform Mother Nature’s awesome creations into images of mesmerizing symmetry through kaleidoscope photo art. 
 
I take photos that have varying texture, shapes and colors, digitally crop different angles and reassemble the crops together to create a seamless kaleidoscope photo.   One photo can create numerous kaleidoscopes because each cut creates a different geometrical pattern.  The finished product can create a pattern that is difficult to recognize the original photo or can enhance the subject of the original photo.  This is all done freehand!  This is not a result of an automatic program.  Automatic programs will distort the subject.  My process is unique as it allows me to isolate my subject and kaleidoscope everything else around it.  Why you ask?  Why turn my photography into kaleidoscope designs?   Good question....the only explanation I have is this is what I see...it is simply my twisted imagination!   

Oh yes one other thing.....if you run across a math teacher from Michigan...please oh please don’t tell him or her what I am doing.   He or she might be one of my former teachers.   If they knew what I was doing I would not live it down...you see...I HATE MATH!  I pouted, cried and whined all through school about math...and what I do is basic geometry.  I would never hear the end of “I told  you so” or “See I knew if you set your mind to it you would learn math”.  Let’s keep this my little secret!
