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.

Southern France highlights [Skywatch Friday]


We are still feeding off the two summer trips around France in the early 90’s. It’s hard to imagine today shooting with film and having to wait weeks to get slides back before seeing how they came out -- not to mention having to be more selective and economical in the number of shots taken. Digital has turned that upside down. Anyway, here are a few images scanned from those old slides. The aqueduct, Pont du Gard, was in southern France [near Uzes], as was the sunflower field.

Sunflower fields are something one never forgets. I've seen them, driving in Poland, a sea of yellow, mile after mile!
