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.

Butterfly Meets Flowers [Today's Flowers]



This was one busy butterfly -- still, I caught it flitting about. Considering that it was fairly windy at the time, I was lucky to have avoided motion blur--

Wow! You really did get this perfectly with not a blur in sight. The vivid color of the Echinacea (cone flower?) is the perfect landing for the butterfly. Wind or not, you got this one!

Bises,

Thanks all, I appreciate your comments1 These pics were taken with a telephoto lens -- so, technically speaking, while they are close-ups, they are not really macro shots.
