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.

Honeoye Falls' Upper Falls

  Here are some recent shots I took in Honeoye Falls, which is maybe 20 mi. south of Rochester. It is a quaint little town with two water falls; these views are from the Upper Falls, where a mill had been located. At this time of year, unfortunately, the flow of water is strongly reduced, so the middle portion is barely a trickle [see bottom most pic].  I used my neutral density filter to increase the exposure time and create the cotton effect with the two top images. In the coming weeks, I will continue posting images of various waterfalls around upstate NY.

Very nice photos of these waterfalls! Is the ancient mill (the house) still there? Or is it destroyed?
I look forward to your series about waterfalls!

Great job with the ND filter. I like the water blur.
