When I was making this image, I was thinking about one image by Carleton Watkins and two others by Muybridge.
The image – like most of the ones in this collection – was shot with the 8x10 film camera. The film was then scanned, processed, and then printed as a traditional gelatin silver print.
The computer vision algorithms laid over this image include one that looks for faces in the rocks and trees, and others that look for straight lines, circles, and that try to segment the image into different regions
