Steps to reproduce

I arrived at my data through several books on symbols such as: A Dictionary of Symbols by Chevalier & Gheerbrant and The Complete Book of Symbols by Tressider. Photographs were planned and then made with the help of an Artificial Intelligence Image Generator. Enhancement was often necessary and generally required Focus Sharpening; Highlight, Mid-Tone, and Shadow Enhancement; Contrast and Brightness Enhancement. This was carried out with Corel Paint Shop Pro XI. Cropping was not usually necessary but at times I judged the photograph to be better in black and white rather than color and so the color image was changed to a black and white photograph.
