The psychoanalyst Carl Jung saw the mandala as "a representation of the unconscious self.
About 2 years ago I was driving from Los Angeles to Chicago with my dog and stopped in Utah to do a small hike.
I was looking at some really psychedelic rock formations and noticed how they formed a mandala.
About an hour or so after I left the canyon I was hiking in and hit the road again, I had to pull over and pull out my laptop because I had this idea on how I could take certain images from my portfolio, especially ones of natural landscapes that had elements of trees, rocks or clouds, and create a mandala-like image.
I sat in a rest area for almost 2 hours working on a variety of images and left Utah into Colorado with a whole new graphic design body of work I now simply call - MANDALA ART PHOTOGRAPHY.
Most of my designs are created using original images shot in Southeast Asia, but a few are from the US - mostly from this trip where the idea began.
The best images certainly do include trees, clouds and rocks and the closer you look into the image the more mini-mandalas you will see...
