More than 400 houseboats ply the backwaters of Kerala. They are 100 feet long, and feature thatched roofs over wooden hulls. We spent three nights on one of them as we cruised the backwaters. Here a crew member helps dock our houseboat at sunset. By juxtaposing the silhouetted man with the sunset, I create a two-layer image producing a three-dimensional effect. The viewer becomes part of the picture, virtually looking over the shoulder of the crewmember as he works. The evening sky is beautiful, but acquires more meaning because of the dynamic gesture that is superimposed upon it. Seen together, the dual layers present both a mood and an atmosphere that provoke emotional response.
