Experiment in Black and White

This is a photo that I took at a wonderful rose garden in Eugene, Oregon last June when I was visiting Gig, the hand knitter for the gallery. I am experimenting in the digital darkroom to make some of my images black and white. Please let me know what you think. You can do that through the comment section on the blog. I will have an 8 x 11 matted and framed photo of this, plus a 5 x 7 matted piece so that you may purchase your own frame.

An old slide becomes quite a photo.

I found a box of slides a few months ago and lo and behold within lay this slide. It was a photo I took on a summer morning when the light was at its perfection. I have named this photo "We Don't Shine Alone~Clematis and its Supporting Stars". The clematis jumps out at us, but look at all the surrounding buds, and a budding Astilbe. From beneath it is surrounded by Lady's Mantle. Isn't that what our lives are like? When we move forward we have people and/or things that supports us. They surround us and shelter us.

This photo is a custom giclee print. The print size is an 18 x 30 photo, drymounted, double matter and framed to 24 x 36. All materials are archival.

DON'T FORGET TO DOUBLE-CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO SEE MORE DETAIL.

Keep checking back, because I will be posting images all week.
