Breather, by Sam Matamua. The idea for this one is that this rock serves as a rest stop for birds flying over the ocean. Its just like when your traveling down that long freeway and see a sign for an upcoming rest stop, at that point you'll usually make a snap decision whether or not you need or want to pull over. Made with Bryce Software. |

Freedom Ridge, by Sam Matamua. In my mind, the story here is that these three horses have escaped from the ranch and have had a wild night of fun and adventure, but now they have reached the end of the road. They can't go forward and they most certainly can't go back. So although their standing atop Freedom Ridge, they've reached a dead end. |

Up in the Air, by Sam Matamua. In this picture you're looking straight down the side of a mountainous cliff. In my mind this is an island out in the pacific somewhere, but could just as easily be from somewhere along the cost of San Diego. |

The Last Stand, by Sam Matamua. I've come to accept this as an elephant and sunset picture. And so should you. However, you may be interested to know that in my mind when I was working on this, that big thing in the background that looks like the sun, was not the sun. I thought it was a spaceship that was going around the earth sucking up all the earth's animals like a big yellow vacuum cleaner. |

DragonScape, by Sam Matamua. Dragons fly over a big rift in the earth as red smoke swirls up from below. The canyon backdrop and sky were created in Bryce. I love the canyon walls here. The red smoke is a Photoshop creation and the Dragons came from Daz3d. |

Free Spirit, by Sam Matamua. A California Seagull, captured here forever in mid flight, heads to destination unknown. Not that you can tell from the photo, but this is from La Jolla Beach here in San Diego. The bird is flying away from the camera. |

Elephants on the Edge II, by Sam Matamua. Same idea, different look. |

Elephants on the Edge, by Sam Matamua. I think the cliff in this picture represents the ends of the earth, as in sailors of old sailing to the ends of the earth. The elephants come to this place because they are being driven out of their normal habitat. They quite literally have no where else to go. This is where they come to die. |

Hunter, by Sam Matamua. Black and white portrait of a wolf prowling alone through an eerily lit forest. This image took me about two years to make. It won 3rd place (out of almost 10,000 entries) in the 2007 Art of Photography Show. |
