Bayou Magic (4)

Meera Sethi

I'm really torn about these images, which are of Honey Island Swamp in Louisiana. I wanted to heighten the sense of drama and mystery I felt while I was there, so I manipulated these four pictures pretty heavily, in a way that almost pushes them into the realm of the unreal for me. I like the way they look, but I might be persuaded that they're not actually photographs anymore. Which is a little weird for me.

The place had an incredible magic of its own, and mostly likely the other photographs I upload of it will not be processed like these.

This one is my favorite of the four.
