‘Abstract Reality’ Images by Member Michael Kern featured in October issue of National Geographic Magazine

The October issue of National Geographic Magazine features a 10-page spread of images created by Michael Kern by post processing of close-up images of reptiles, spiders and other creatures, using mirror images, compositing and other Photoshop techniques to create new and fascinating patterns. An article by Elizabeth Schwyzer in the Sept 25 issue of the Palo Alto Weekly offers background on Kern's development as a wildlife photographer and expands on the continuous evolution of these images.
