I had taken the base photograph used in this piece this spring. It's the sort of subject matter that I am sure would appeal to Carolyn.

I hope she will consider it a favorable homage to her brilliant digital work! 

It's difficult to choose just one of her pieces as the inspiration for my ripped piece. I've been following her work for years and tried to capture some of the elements that I have loved over those years. I did decide to use the "frames" that she has included in many recent pieces and most notably her Columbine Remembrances.
