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.

Rush Rhees Library [Sky Watch Friday]


Contrary to popular belief, the sky is not always gray in Rochester during the winter.  I was crossing the University quad, on my way to the pool, I had to stop and admire the Rush Rhees Library tower against the crisp, blue sky. Here was an opportunity to try out the camera in my new smart phone. Yes, a cell phone pic ---  Well, not high art, but still a rewarding image. [BTW -- haven't seen too much blue sky since this shot--lol].

Wonderful image from a phone...I am always amazed by their quality! Loving that blue sky! Here in Omaha we are supposed to get dumped on...anywhere from 6" to a foot, still haven't figured it out yet. Can't complain after all of our 60+ degree weather!
