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.

Greece Skies 2005: Santorini 1 [Sky Watch Friday]

From Naxos we took a ferry through the Aegean Sea to the volcanic island of Santorini. Perched high atop cliffs surrounding an underwater caldera [a giant crater produced by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC]. The zig-zag line running down the middle of the image is the route to the village on top. One can go up either on foot or on a donkey. We chose neither, as we had a bus to get us up there.


The two main towns, Fira and Oia, clinging to the cliffside, are known for their white-washed and colorful houses. I don’t remember which image below is from which town. In any event, every which way one looked, it was a feast for the eyes.
