Six Words Memoir

Have passport-Have camera-Mission possible.

Mine is a very simple six word memoir and I believe it describes me completely. My love of traveling along with my love of making images, whether I take extensive trip abroad or a just a day or weekend road trip, is an important part of who I am. I'm also happy my family loves to travel with me!

Fort Pulaski Soldiers Musket Firing - Digital Infrared

Ft Pulaski continues to be one of my favorite historical sites to visit and photograph. I always see something there that I haven't seen before to capture with my camera. On a beautiful, but hot and humid summer afternoon, my family and I attended the musket and cannon firing program at the Fort. Ft. Pulaski is a National Monument located near Savannah, Georgia. Volunteers dressed in Civil War uniforms demonstrate historically correct firing drill copied from artillery manuals of that era. Shown is one of the digital infrared photos of the many I shot that day while watching the drill. This image was converted from the Raw digital infrared file using Silver Efex Pro 2.0 Two textures from Kim Klassen-
Aurora and Greydaymagic with some of the texture brushed away from the soldiers and the puffs of smoke from the guns. For Texture Tuesday.

Texture Tuesday-Movie eDition-Lady in White

For Texture Tuesday-the Movie eDition. Lady in White, a 1938 film. Basically, the photo only alludes to the name of the movie, not the plot. I took two photos, one without the figure and one with the figure. The two photographs were merged, then ghostly figures attained by adjusting the opacity of that layer. Next the "plaster" texture from Kim Klassen was  used. Lastly, a levels and curves adjustment.

Peaches-a Study in Black and White

Fresh peaches are abundant in the farmers markets and groceries store. Although they are lovely photographed in color, this black and white study still reveals the lovely shape and texture of the peach. Image shot with a Leica d-lux5 in black and white, then used an additional filter with Nik Silver Pro 2.0 which deepened the black and white effect.
