Mushroom hunt by Ometochtli

Mushroom hunt

Ometochtli

Just a little scene I've had in head for two weeks or so. I wanted to show my 'sona in, well, his natural environment :p, and I also wanted to experiment with the circular format (the so-called tondo, mostly used by the painters of the Renaissance).

I like this format more and more, so I think I'll use it again! I was inspired by the very first Kodak cameras (c. 1890), which took photos in a circular format in order to avoid optical aberrations in the corners of the image. You can find some of these old-time photos on Flickr, it's quite interesting and it makes me regret that this format was so quickly discontinued!

Watercolour, walnut ink and India ink. Ø 22cm.
