Guest Artist/Photographer

At times I may add some pictures from whom I will call "guests" that I find quite striking. I will give credit to them. I've certainly enjoyed the work of Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier Bresson, Annie Leibowitz, Jacob Riis (from a historical/documentary viewpoint), Art Wolfe.

The "guest" artist I am spotlighting in this picture is from my very dear friend-Penelope from Seattle. I have made a few adjustments to it in Photoshop. The original image was in color but due to the snow scene and the monochromatic tone of the original image I thought it would give a rather "ethereal" quality to the scene to convert it to black and white.

More Architectural Stufffff

More and More stuff along that architectural line.

I also get some inspiration on lines from the foliage. Here are some additional "architectural" looking images.

Architectural Stuffffff

I have taken an interest in architectural design of buildings, structures, land....really anything that creates some degree of composition with lines, shapes and textures. These are a few of my personal favorites. Again, I consider myself a work in progress.

Studio Stuff

While I certainly don't consider myself much of a "studio photographer", the experience that I had in Artificial Light Photography was quite a new venture for me. These are several images that I am fond of and actually got some recognition.

Trading Post

Since I've created this blog as an "assignment" for class, I thought, "what the hell, I may as well take the opportunity to share some of my stuff that I've taken over the years". I really only take the pics as enjoyment for myself. If others find some beauty, serenity, objectivity to them, all the better. For I truly believe, the image is in the eye of the beholder. Hope you enjoy them.
This particular image was taken on my "road retirement" trip 3 summers ago. I was coming into a small town in southern Utah just outside of Moab. The desolation of the building enthralled me and the majesty of the clouds gave it some "life".

MY Various 4-Legged Friends

I figure I'd better show some of the various 4-legged friends that grace my life or I'll never hear the end of it from them. If I'm lucky, I'll get a good spot in bed tonight and won't have any cat throw up on my pillow. The two little "munchkins" in these pics aren't actually mine but my "play" nephew and niece. "Holly" and "Kris Kringle" are two miniature dachshunds that I gave to my sister last Christmas after her own two dachshunds had died after a very long, and rewarding life.
"Max and Mausi" are posted at the top in one of their favorite spots-on my sister's couch.
