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.

Corbett's Glen Natutre Park

The Rochester, NY area abounds in parks, gardens, waterways, lakes and hiking/walking trails. It's wonderful for 'outdoorsy' types, photographers and even lazy nature lovers. Recently, I was bitten by the waterfalls/cascades bug and decided that I'd take excursions to develop new photographic skills, as well as to get outside with my wife. This has proven to be an excellent solution for compromise between her desire to keep moving and my need to stop and set up shots. [Enough discussion of domestic differences --lol--]. The shot below was taken at Corbett's Glen Nature Park, only a 10 minute drive from home. Oh, I failed to mention that I recently purchased a B-W neutral density filter [10-stop lowering] specifically to generate waterfall images with the 'cotton candy' look [also, converted to B&W in Photoshop Elements]. In the course of time, I hope to post more pics along these lines.

My hubby likes to find a spot as well and stay there and shoot photos from there, while I am one to travel as much ground as I can to get photos. I know about those domestic disturbances!!
The water here is almost ethereal. I'll bet the sound of rushing water was wonderful.
