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.

Textures [Sunday Stills]



As of late, I have become (re)drawn to B & W images. This shot of a thick rope wound around a wooden post was not much of an image when it was in color. For me, it was transformed into something interesting after its conversion, as the textures became prominent.

The man-mdae (from natural product) and the natural together. One vertical, one horizontal. Love the contrast yet blending as well Stan.

Stan, you are so right about this... I used to take many photos using b/w film and loved the textures and contrast that come to the surface. Great shot!

Bises,
Genie
