Hipstamatic

Bookstore, Bloomington, IN

While traveling last month most o the images captured were done with the iPhone4 using the Hipstamatic camera application. Hipstamatic gives on several different choices of lens and also several choices of film types from grainy black and white to outlandish color. If you are using the iPhone I highly recommend this camera application. Additionally try the Picture Show application which creates fun images from your original captures...

Happy Thanksgiving

Yellow-Green Light.......

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.  ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy and healthy Thanksgiving...It has almost been one year posting here and I am thankful for all of you who have shown interest and commented on my work. December 14 marks the start of year two and I will have the website up (yes there have been may false alarms) and running by then. It is in beta test now.

The website will host many different phases of my work in landscape, music and iPhone Imagery. Additionally, the site will also provide a link directly to this blog.

Thanks for a inspiring year - looking forward to the next one..


All the best to you and your families on this Thanksgiving Day 2010.

Gothic Seascape

Seascape - Iceland

This image was captured in Iceland last July. I remember that Einar, our tour director from Focus on Nature, mentioned that this area had some connection to his family.

The rocks are called Reynisdranger (Reynis Cliffs). The mountain is called Reynisfjall (Reynis Mountain). Renir is a man's name. The town is Vik Mydral on the south coast of Iceland. 

If you look closely there is a bird in flight just to the right of the structure.

Love the black white on this image....

For Free

Playing for Free - Bloomington, Indiana

'I was standing on a noisy corner
Waiting for the walking on green
Across the street he stood
and he played real good for free
On his clarinet, for free'..............Joni Mitchell

Had a couple of friends meet me in Bloomington, Indiana on Sunday for lunch. After lunch we were actually waiting for the light when I saw this guy playing on the corner across the street. As you can tell my thoughts went Joni and so I gave him a few dollars and asked about a portrait - these are the first couple of passes....just playing with various toys in the IP4...

Church with Red Roof

Church with Red Roof, Skaptartunga, Iceland

This church is located in Groef in the town of Skaptartunga, Iceland...If my memory serves  me well we left Nupstadir that day and got caught by this church in a severe rainstorm....As the rain died out I was pulled into this image by the shapes of the mountain off in the background caused by a fog that rolled in.

Image captured with a Canon 5DMKII, Canon 70200MM,  and processed with Nik Hdr Efex Pro....

Pacific Coast Highway

Pacific Coast Highway

I have friends who live in the Santa Cruz area of California. Whenever I have the good fortune of visiting with them I always drive the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) en-route to their house.

I make it a point to stop at several of the coast beaches between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz. This is an Iphone4 capture made last October.

Happy Sunday
