Recently, in the quiet of the Maine woods and along the shores I saw many beautiful things. Like a feather caught in seaweed.
And wild blueberries sprouting along rocky crags.
Pinecones, of course.
Most surprising were the butterflies and moths.

Experiments with Natural Forms
Posted in Inspiration, Nature Notes, tagged digital alteration, Photography on July 2, 2010| 1 Comment »
I have been having a lot of fun lately “painting” with technology. That is what is has felt like to hunker down in front of the computer and use digital tools to manipulate the light, shadow, colors and design of some of my nature images. In the future I’d like to try printing some of these images on different textured papers.
Or perhaps transferring the images to fabric. I’m always open to ideas. What do you think?
More images can be found here.

An Update of Sorts …

It’s been a long while. What to share? Well, mostly I wanted to share the above picture of a dandelion gone to seed. Allergies have hit me hard this season leaving me a bit blurry-eyed and forcing me to be more creative in my photography. To be sure of what I am seeing, I find that I am getting up close and personal with my photographic subjects resulting in pictures like this dandelion. The little motes remind me of stars.
In Other News …
Because I keep walking into the webs, I ‘m getting a lot of nice spider shots.
Local Treks
Recent treks included familiar spots like the Boston Public Gardens, and along the Charles River. Lime Quarry Reservation (map) presented new vistas. Future treks include the Arnold Arboretum and Boston Harbor.
At the Edges
While at work, where a park ended and a parking lot began, I found life on display from fresh beginning to untimely end.
At the edge where a stretch of farmland intersected with a stretch of city road, a friend and I found a farm stand with fresh picked produce.
Unexpected Opportunities
I’m being interviewed by Molly J. Anderson-Childers for the Creativity-Portal.com. Imagine that! More information available in July.
Unexpected Inspirations
- the color yellow, especially buttercups
- a dog named Fuzzy
- bird song
- rain/rain drops/rainbows
- ferns
Inspired by Family Always!
My brother recently sent me this picture of his son. Brings a smile to my face every time.
And on the horizon?
Working to meet the deadlines for several upcoming art shows. Following up on leads from friends and family about various contests and publication opportunities (keep ’em coming!). Learning more about photographic techniques. Identifying the next photos to submit for donation to the Art Connection. And just trying to keep my eyes open to the beauty around me.
