Looking at one photograph at a time
Three Bouquets on Freeway Overpass (from the series: Bad Trip - Sad Trip) Well, I just updated the image titles and rearranged some of the images on my web site for the series Bad Trip - Sad Trip.

Cross and two Butterflies, Nevada (from the series Bad Trip - Sad Trip) Having used CS3 for the last month and half, I now recoginize that I have changed my digital workflow to create my Black and White images.

Yountville, July 2007 ...the drive back from Napa took a little longer as I suspected, hitting the LA traffic in the afternoon peak time. That added about two hours to the drive. Yuk!

...yesterday afternoon we went to the Members reception at the Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA) for the mulitimedia installation by Coa Fei. She is a young cinama/director from the Bejing art community and her installation was interesting. Maybe even more for me as she is working on an industrial subject not much unlike what I was working on... Continue Reading →
Fading Memories (from the series: Bad Trip - Sad Trip) ...Mark commented today about the potential impact of reworking the tonal qualities of my series Bad Trip - Sad Trip as being a "nightmare". He was not aware of how true that statement was! After the realization of what I was going to have to do,... Continue Reading →
No Longer Paradise (From the Series: Bad Trip - Sad Trip) ...I am re-posting this photograph from my series,which is one that had I made in Hawaii, but the first time I posted it, I had a strong diffusion effect on the foreground.
