Hello and welcome. Hope you enjoy the images I have posted. Please do not reproduce them without my permission. Most are available as note/greeting cards or as prints/enlargements. Thank you for visiting my site and your comments.
Many have asked about the Header image above, which I named 'Eerie Genny'. It was originally shot with film [taken on the shore of the Genesee River near the Univ. of Rochester]. During the darkroom development, I flashed a light above the tray. The process, known as 'solarization', produces eerie, ghostlike effects; some have mistaken this image as an infra-red photo. Some 35+ years later, I scanned and digitized the print, and did a little modern day editing, and, voila.

Anemone Study #4


Last summer I was mowing the front lawn when I just happened to notice this lonely flower on the ground under our living room window.  It was a no-brainer -- I stopped what I was doing and ran upstairs for my trusty point-and-shoot Canon A720, which is really great for macro shots.  I took a number of pics, and this image is my personal favorite -- you can see this and Anemone Study #1 [two of my best sellers] along with several other flowers by scrolling a little way down to the composite. I was certainly very lucky to have gotten clear and sharp shots without using a tripod. Have a fine weekend and Happy Easter!

Clear as a bell. You missed a long drumming session today. It was another good one.

I can certainly see why it is a favorite. My little Canon is also better for macros than my big bad boy - but then I'm too cheap to buy the macro lens for the big one - haha. Really nice job - I could see that hanging on someone's wall easy.
