Although June Yap is now to digital photography, her strong background in art and painting can be seen in her pictures. The above picture of an alternate reality in reflections as seen through her eyes at Angkor Wat, is an example of how artists sees things differently from lesser gifted folks. The above is an inverted image of a puddle of water at Angkor Wat after a sudden rain shower.
