We see a woman in a Vitruvian pose, suspended within a fog-white ring, in the middle of an upscale penthouse apartment. A liquid-like, humanoid apparition towers over her. The mood is ominous, frightful and foreboding.

We see a married couple in their thirties, with the wife, an East Indian, leaning into her husband, a tall, blonde, Swedish man with his arm around her.

We see a married couple in their thirties, with the wife, an East Indian, leaning into her husband, a tall, blonde, Swedish man with his arm around her. They are looking at their 9-year-old daughter, playing with her school friends. Clouds of colorful auras surround all the children, the plants, and the trees.

From the back, we see a woman in her 30s, with long ginger-blonde hair and her seven-year-old daughter, kneeling on a couch. They are peeking over the back of a couch, looking out a shaded front window at a man, visible only from the shoulders down, sitting in a chair on the front porch.

Through a fish-eye lens, we see a man, age 67, in fishing waders and a fly fishing rod in hand, sitting on a boulder and looking at his smiling reflection in the calm water of a river pool. In the background, a dreamlike vision shows twin children, a boy and a girl, and his wife in a family scene.

From the back, we see a woman in her 30s, with long ginger-blonde hair and her seven-year-old daughter, kneeling on a couch. They are peeking over the back of a couch, looking out a shaded front window at a man, visible only from the shoulders down, sitting in a chair on the front porch.

An aged man of Italian descent who gives off the aura of a mafia don sits at a table in an outdoor cafe in France. With him is a short, plump, healthy woman in her 80’s and an attractive blonde-haired woman in her 40’s. The situation is tense, and the mood is ominous.

“Under the wrap-around glass canopy of the Strasbourg train station, a very attractive, slender woman with shoulder-length, curly, blonde hair stands an arms-length from an Italian man with close-cropped, wavy black hair. In the background, a tall, very handsome, younger man is seen approaching, his hand waving. The mood is tense, melancholic, and poignant.”

Protestors clash at a Christmas market and from the melee, a college-aged young man scrambles away looking back, horrified.

An aging and ill senior man and a Catholic priest sit on a back porch overlooking a yard with fallen leaves as the season changes to Fall. A small table between them holds two tumblers with bourbon and cigarettes smoldering in an ashtray. The mood is somber and melancholic.

Under a moonlit and starry night, a 13-year-old, auburn haired girl sits on the edge of rock garden shaped like a creek bed between a lawn and a garden bordered by a boreal forest. She’s carefully examining different stones in her palm as though they hold secret wonders. The mood is serene, peaceful, safe and mystical.

Ultra-realistic. A female scientist in her late 40s surrounded by a white-blue ethereal light stands in front of a liquid silver space-time portal. On the other side of the portal are celestial bodies, atomic symbols and the eye of God.
