Greek Mythology, Ariadne’s thread

Ariadne’s thread, named for the legend of Ariadne, is the term used to describe the solving of a problem with multiple apparent means of proceeding – such as a physical maze, a logic puzzle, or an ethical dilemma – through an exhaustive application of logic to all available routes. It is the particular method used that is able to follow completely through to trace steps or take point by point a series of found truths in a contingent, ordered search that reaches a desired end position. This process can take the form of a mental record, a physical marking, or even a philosophical debate; it is the process itself that assumes the name.

No stock photography used !

Digital Photographic Montage – composed of my photographs,basic editing in CS 5. Multiple layers of many pictures were blended in different modes to achieve the desired lighting effects. Blurring filters used on the background, gradients and graduated eraser were used to selectively alter transparency…

All my own pictures, different layers in photoshop CS5

Thanks to Vicky Lievens for posing !

    One of my favourite Greek myths. That’s why I never kill spiders no matter how big they are.
