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.

Somewhere Downtown Rochester [Sky Watch Friday]

This view of downtown Rochester is one that you will see only rarely, if at all. It took a bit of hunting around to gain access to the spot where I shot from, but it was worth the effort. Of course, there is the ubiquitous Chase Tower [scroll down to earlier posts]. Now several of my colleagues suggested that I crop down from the top, since the crossed contrails are a distraction. While I agree to some extent, I decided to leave them for the Sky Watch posting. Speaking of posting, I will be taking off January. So, Happy New year and I'll see you in February.

Really beautiful photo Stan, I really like the light on the buildings and its reflection on the water.

It's normal that you didn't know of that spot in Barcelona when you visited. I've been living there for six years and I discovered it last Fall... But, now you know and you need to go there when in Barcelona again.

Super photo, and the plane trails, I think they add to the whole image, Tall buildings reaching to the sky. Enjoy January, we will wait for new places to look at when you return. Happy New Year, and for all of 2013, greetings from Jean

You found the right perspective for this photo! It leads the eye from one side to the other and right down into the photo! It must of been a calm day, the reflections are clear and crisp.
I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and the best of the New Year to you and your family!
