:: Up the mountain ::

Posted on September 14, 2010 by K

This header, I just wanted to explain, is just another one of my poor efforts to capture the river light.  You can see that the yard is dark – that dark, velvet green of late summer.  But the last light … Continue reading →

~o:> Looking Homeward

Posted on September 4, 2010 by K

First of all, I learned a few more things, and here is the finished composite.  The lighting still isn’t right, but I think it works pretty well.  I think the real secret to doing something this complex is just time. … Continue reading →

~o:> See How They Grow

Posted on August 30, 2010 by K

Posted on August 28, 2010 by K

Notes for anyone coming from Creative Friday – this is mostly about photographs and what you can do with them.  Feel free to skip through the pictures if you like.  I was visiting my daughter in her new New Mexico … Continue reading →

Posted on August 25, 2010 by K

Okay.  Not really there yet.  But close.  Real close. First of all, this is the self portrait I favored.  Not so white now, are they??? In the mountains of Colorado, we ran into this. And M shot this.  Then we … Continue reading →

Posted on August 24, 2010 by K
