Liz Hickok is a San Francisco based artist working in photography, video, sculpture, installation, and currently, Jell-O.  The following photographs are from her exhibits featuring various San Francisco landscapes and Scottsdale, AZ Center of the Arts. The Jell-O sculptures decay quickly leaving only the photographs and a few videos to display her works of art.  The following descriptions and some of the photographs are from Liz Hickok’s website.  The other photos are from photographers who attended her exhibitions between 2004 and 2007.

 

San Francisco In Jell-O
Similar to making a movie set, Liz Hickok added backdrops, which were often painted, along with elements such as mountains or trees.  The exhibit was dramatically lighted from the back or underneath.

I wanted to showcase the incredible architectural design of the castles and palaces that were constructed in various centuries and came across quite a few stunning photos and images.  Most of the photographs have been artistically enhanced (HDR) by the original photographer or later by the mentioned artist. Some are absolutley amazing.  

 

Alcazar of Segovia
 The Alcázar of Segovia (literally "Segovia Castle") is a stone fortification, located in the old city of Segovia, Spain.  It is one of the most distinctive castle-palaces in Spain by virtue of its shape - like the bow of a ship. The Alcázar was originally built as a fortress but has served as a royal palace, a state prison, a Royal Artillery College and a military academy since then.
