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.

Aruba Sunsets [Sky Watch Friday]

Back from a delightful sojourn in Aruba. One price to pay is readapting to the cold weather/wearing heavy clothes back home in Rochester. Another is the imposed absence from SWF posting and following other folks. To show you what I saw, here are a few sunset images shot with my cell phone [so they were not with the kind of control I’d have preferred]. Still, Nature’s display shows up moderately well. I will post a few more [abstract] images made from last year’s visit.

Stan, these are beautiful " sky watch" photos, even if not on a Friday. I had to do a Google search to see where Aruba is, no wonder the climate is much warmer. Welcome back, cheers from Jean.

These are dreamy! (Especially on a snowy day in Wyoming!) They're both absolutely stunning, but I especially love the colors, light and composition of the second one. That diagonal red beam is a cool touch, and the sailboat is in such a perfect position... I think you owe its captain a drink! :-)

Welcome back and glad you had a restful vacation. These look peaceful and serene. The sky is gorgeous. Since my last comment here we have moved from B.C. to Alberta, so the quality and type of photos I am used to taking will change a bit!! Hope you check it out!!

Welcome back, Stan! What a beautiful beach and sunset you have shown here. I love that the angle of the rays matches the angle of the sail. A great memory for you as you face the snow and frigid weather!

Bises,
Genie
