New Images #20 – Processed Florals
The featured image, above and to the left, is “Three Tulips.” This week in “New Images” I’m showing a few processed floral images. All three images started as a “normal” color photograph. They were then edited using (NIK) Color EFex, Photoshop, and Luminar Neo. This image of the tulips suggests a certain elegance, a royalty…

New Images #19 – Spring Flowers
To review, from the first New Images, “What is New Images? It’s a new series, posting every Wednesday and replacing the One Four weekly series. And what are ‘New Images’? Well, they’re ‘Images,’ which means they might be photographs or they might not. ‘New’ has two meanings. First, these posts will [mostly] be about recent work…

New Images #18 – Are We Becoming More Comfortable With AI and Edited Images?
I read an interesting article recently,“I’m sorry to say, but most people care about the edit, not photographic composition” (Alan Palazon, Digital Camera World, 3/8/2026). “When I put myself in the shoes of the average person who looks at photographs online… I wonder if the scroll-stopping factor of pictures these days is how they’ve been…

New Images #17 – Blackberries
I’ve been enjoying recently some exceptionally juicy and tasty blackberries – No doubt. imported from South America (Mexico is the world’s largest producer of blackberries); it’s just barely spring here in the Northeast. Blackberries are a summer delicacy. These wonderful berries have inspired me to play with this image this week. Blackberries are one of…

New Images #16: Exploration of Artistic Styles
Artists Roses Those who are uncomfortable with – or even opposed to – AI Imaging might turn away from this post. If you’re even a little bit interested in AI – or in leading artists, painters, stick around for what I hope is an interesting experiment. The feature image is an AI-generated image in the…

New Images #14: Blue Delphiniums
This is the first New Images post since I’ve been back. For a reminder: New Images is a series (roughly weekly, on Wednesdays or Thursdays) devoted in part to exploring the intersection and combination of Generative AI and traditional methods of photo creation and editing. I welcome reactions, impressions, and other feedback. “Blue Delphiniums” is…

New Images #13: Flower Arrangements
This is the “New Images” post I had ready to go last week. Then, before posting, I suffered a sudden and unfortunate medical event that then put me out of commission for almost a week. Now, I’m going to take a break in posting for a while. I’m a sucker for dramatic photographs of beautifully…

New Images #12: Chaos in Nature
This tryptich of images is not, strictly speaking, “new.” But I haven’t featured the images recently, and I believe they’re good candidates for a New Images post. (Click on any image in the triptych for a larger view with fullscreen option.) Of interest will be the fact that there’s no AI involved. The images are…

New Images #11 – Portraits and a Fountain
The featured image this week is one I’ve worked on extensively and often. I’ve had the photograph of a water fountain and wanted to do something with. But I struggled with what kind of background to use and how to blend it. After many iterations (and frustration!) I finally settled on this, and after additional…
