Welcome/Willkommen!

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.

April Fool/Pool



Early this morning [6:30 AM] The Midtown Athletic Club opened its outdoor pool season. This is the view at 6:25 before we crazies jumped in as a group. Well, the pool water was 81 F, so the swimming was the easy part. Getting out wasn't as bad as I anticipated -- lots of towels, sweat shirt/pants, hat, hot coffee/bagels in the Adirondack hut, along with a roaring fire and an adrenalin rush made it an awesome event. Oh, going to do it again at 6:00 PM tonight -- lol.

I hope to see more of your work in the future. You could certainly show your "stuff" out here on the East End without question. Nice going!
