Hitchcockian; Jelly Dancers

Michael Montlack

For these two photos, I used my iPhone, lucky to have it with me to catch the images. Hitchcockian was taken at the Christopher Street Pier during one of my long winter walks at sunset during the pandemic. The figure captured the strange isolation of the time. Jelly Dancers was shot at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium when I drove across country Summer 2021.
