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.

Winter Wonderland

The snow that passed through Rochester, NY last Friday dumped about 13 inches of snow in the city. Saturday was the day to go out and witness the result, which was stunning. There was not a whisper of wind to knock off the snow that had accumulated on the tree branches, and virtually no car or pedestrian traffic to disturb the calm in the air. So, it was time to grab a camera and record some of the beauty. Below are three shots taken outside and within 100 yds of our house, along with one shot taken in our garage

Thanks all! But, it was one of those circumstances where a monkey could have taken a camera a managed to get off some good shots.
