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.

Vienna 2: St. Stephan’s Cathedral [Sky Watch Friday]

The current Romanesque and Gothic form of St. Stephan’s Cathedral stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. Its multi-colored tile roof is one of the city's most recognizable symbols, especially the distinctive eagles.





                                                 I took only one interior [grainy] shot.
 

 Upon exiting the cathedral, I caught a glimpse of these Romanesque columns/capitals framing the doorway [another good motto: always look back].
