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.

Ireland Arrays #2

Well, why wait -- here are the remaining 'array' images I mentioned below. These differ in that there is no diagonal feature present.


Ah yes -- we enjoyed a refreshing glass of Guinness at their distillery in Dublin. Did you know that the harp [not the Shamrock] depicted on the glass is Ireland's official symbol? Did you know that to properly serve a glass of Guinness it takes several minutes of pouring [in two stages]; and one must wait an additional several minutes to allow the air to rise?


These are kilns at the Belleek Crystal Factory,


Granted this array is in slight disorder, I have an excuse to show these lovely lupins, which are present in abundance in Ireland.

I learned a new word today - array! I always look for repetitive patterns as well but did not know they had thier own word! Quite a production to pour a glass of beer! It's not one of my favorite things to drink!
Thanks as well for your kind comments on my blog. I shot the Foxglove on the extra vivid setting of my camera and then adjusted the levels in post. And cropped it down. I love bright colour in photos, definetly not a pastel girl!

Hmmm-- gotta read my owner's manual to check for an extra vivid setting --lol -- Actually, I made up the name array -- seems to fit.
