Description: An eye-catching bit of art photography, featuring a Southwest landscape with artistic license alteration---an impossible waterfall and rainbow emerging from a red rock tower---by the noted Santa Fe-based photographer Elliott McPherson (born 1948). The " by " image (" by " as framed) is signed in pencil by the artist at lower right and numbered 3/100 at lower left. McPherson showed interest in photography as a young boy who received a primitive plastic Kodak camera; by 1964 he was exploring Polaroid photography; McDowell's work was exhibited by the mid 1970's. Always inspired by Life Magazine and later by "coffee table books" of the work of major photographers, he started working with 35mm cameras and then more advanced equipment. McPherson attended Yosemite Summer Workshops and was exposed to people like Ansel Adams. Laura Gilpin was a mentor. McDowell lived for a time in Albuquerque and by serendipity, a former director of photography at the Museum of Modern Art in New York became his neighbor. In more recent years McDowell continued to embrace technological change in the photography world, using computers and programs like Adobe Photoshop to fuse imagery in creative ways such as in this example. In 2009 a book of his work "Mystical Dreamscapes" was offered in a strictly limited edition in a Santa Fe gallery. This altered, compiled image is typical of the artist's unusual work. The photo is in excellent, fresh condition, though there is some stubborn soiling on the outside and possibly inside of the glass.
