The Grand Canyon in Winter
I’ve posted a couple of Grand Canyon pictures which elicited a positive reaction. So I think I should post a more extensive selection of images from that winter visit to the canyon. It was quite cold, and perhaps because of that the air was unusually clear. All of these images were photographed from the North…

Red Tulips
These tulips were photographed indoors in controlled lighting. What I find cool about this photograph is that it looks like a painting. I was pretty happy with this image.

Monet’s Garden
People asked me, when I put this image in exhibits, “Is that really Monet’s garden?” N…ooo. That’s just what I called it because it has (I think) the impressionist look of Monet’s paintings of his garden at Giverny. I photographed this pond at the Hammond Museum and Japanese Gardens in North Salem, NY. These gardens…

Architecture 2: The Getty Center
When I lived in Los Angeles, I loved to visit the Getty Center, partly of course because of the most incredible collection of art. But also because the buildings and the grounds themselves inspired, for me, at once both excitement and serenity. The Getty Center is in Brentwood, California, part of Los Angeles. Still featuring…

Spring Awakening: Egrets and Nature’s Beauty
Oh, how I yearn for Spring! The weather has been quite lovely over the past week; so far, March hasn’t shown much of its lion-like temperament. This photo from Bruce Park in Greenwich is a few years old and showcases some stunning spring hues along with a beautiful egret on the lake. Egrets, especially white…

One Photo Four Ways – Sunflowers Week 2
Here is the second variation of Sunflowers. If we use Polaroid Peel-Apart film to take a picture, then peel the layers apart before the picture is finished developing, we get some interesting effects ranging from subtle variations to more abstract changes in colors and textures. This image was produced by a digital technique that emulates…

Improvisations
For a midweek post, here is a series of improvisations. There is a variety of techniques at work here. But for the most part the idea here is that I created images fairly quickly and without much planning or intended outcomes. All originated in camera.

Pictorialism Redux
How Pictorialism Shaped Modern Photography Among the most important movements in the history of photography was the so-called Secessionist Movement of the early 20th Century, led by such influential artists as Steiglitz and Steichen. Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) founded the American Secessionist Movement in photography, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of visual arts. Through…
