My images are digital photo composites, made by combining whole photos, and are intended as visual exploration. My interest is the end result– hopefully something I haven’t seen before– hopefully art. There is no formula to their creation, although they consist of multiple whole digital photos, layered, opaqued, reversed and manipulated using Photoshop software. Most situations are found, captured without preconception and combined later. My work is essentially non-objective, with varying degrees of abstraction. There may be four to twelve whole photos involved. I try to resist the obvious, and often encourage flaws. Two-dimensional compositions seem to work best for me, and I always create in color. Digital photo manipulation has been a fresh method of visual discovery for me, resulting in shapes, textures and color combinations that I would not have considered otherwise. There is always the surprise of discovery, the search for something unique, and the irony of making photos that may not eventually resemble photographs.

My photos are for sale, but because of the way I work, I cannot do commissions.

Use this section to get the parent/child taxonomies for a single post being viewed

The above pulls in each of the parents within the artist-discipline taxonomy , which is good, if I want to display them alone without their children.
Terms: Design
Terms: Graphic
Terms: Photography
Terms: Visual

I need to probably display these like this:

Dance: Ballroom, General, Hip Hop, Jazz.

Design: General, Graphic

Will need to figure out how to return the sub categories (artist-discipline) for each parent individually and then loop through all parents assigned to the CPT (artist) being viewed.

In this section I was able to successfully pull all sub categories that belongs to the 2 parents selected. This could be good if I was trying to show all possible choices under that parent, but what I really need is to pull just the selected ones back.
