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.

Mission San Jose, Austin TX [Sky Watch Friday]
Mission San Jose is one of several missions located in Austin, TX. I found it to be the most interesting one architecturally and esthetically speaking. It has been photographed many times and from many vantage points -- but, I think I may have found a view that is different. The red flowers set in among the heavy stones, and the overlapping [different style] arches against the blue sky make this a most appealing image for me.

Great sky watch shot. Beautiful.

I love this composition Stan. There's symmetry and variety combined with textures and colours.
It's a gorgeous image, Stan. Love the blue sky peeking through the openings and the textures of the stones. It's a winner all the way around!
This is beautifully composed. And so nice to see the bit of colour in the flowers in the stone.
word verification by the way is clergy - appropriate, I guess, for a Mission shot!
Wonderful view or rather many views through the arches! Very well done,thanks for sharing.
Yes, a very well composed shot.
The repeat of the pointed arches makes it a very interesting pic, Stan! Happy SWF!
I love the overlapping arches, and the flowers against the stone! The colours are beautiful, too!!
I really like all the textures going on in this photograph. For instance the flower petals are soft placed on the side. Then the stone and arches and blue sky all add their independent textures. I love this shot!

Wonderful composition of those charming arches and blue sky.
Very nice composition.
Regards and best wishes
Oh wow! Great image and wonderful perspective!! Love it.
I have never been there....I love the repeating shapes, the textures and the way the blue sky is framed in the shapes!
This is capticating, magical, a very well defined image sharing both nature and what mankind has done...I really, really like this!
Hallo Stan
Durch Deinen Kommentar zu meinem Nebel-Bild auf The World in Black & White, habe ich Deinen Blog gefunden.
Selten erhält man ein solches Feedback zu einem Bild, besten Dank. Deine Meinung zum Aufbau des Bildes kann ich so nachvollziehen und muss Dir Recht geben.
Hier auf Deinem Blog sehe ich Bilder, die mich immer wieder hierher zurück bringen werden.
Es grüsst Dich herzlich aus der kalten Schweiz
