My homage to the nightmarish experience that was the year 2020 and my hope for bursting out to a much better, though still challenging, 2021. I've taken a pedestrian overpass over I-91 in Hartford, inverted and "warped" it a bit in Photoshop before converting it to black and white. Again in Photoshop. using a layer mask, I introduced the surfer "hero" into the darkness surfing the welcome blue water. He was originally surfing near a pier in San Diego.
