Abbey Road

Bath, Maine Carnival

If this is Saturday it must be Pittsburgh. Quiet day out here - but there is a carnival nearby....time for some Iphone images...

I always thought today's image was the reverse view from behind the Beatle's on the cover of Abbey Road.

Day After

This is all I have to offer today. Way to tired after the opening last night but passed this on the highway and could not resist...I did, however, resist eating there...

Show went very well - sold a few pieces and met some new people. All in all a good start. Images coming shortly from the show.

stay tuned...

Scotland

Bells Hill, SCotland

It is 1AM and I just got back from a show in Cleveland. Quick post of this image from Scotland last Christmas Holiday and off to sleep. 

Tomorrow night is my gallery show opening and this guy needs some rest...

Everglades Revisited

Chokoloskee Sunrise, Everglades

Still working on images from the Everglades earlier this year - although it seems like it was several years and twenty thousand images back. I still can't believe I drove over 3,500 miles on that trip. Hoping to repeat this same trip again this year, specifically the part where you go out early and walk around on the oyster beds at sunrise - what a hoot.

The image above is from Blowing Rocks on the east coast of Florida...love the ocean so this location proved inviting and I spent several days shooting and captured over 1500 images. Surely has something to do with my childhood spent by the sea in Atlantic City.

Blowing Rocks, Jupiter, Florida

The one below is from Chokoloskee Bay in the Everglades. Went out early on a boat to walk the oyster beds and capture sunrise images. Very eerie feeling being out there in the water at that location at sunrise...feels like you are in some sort of timeless void and you are the only person left on earth.

On another note my Allusions of Reality show opens tomorrow night at the Renaissance Fine Art and Design Gallery in Carmel, Indiana. There is a link below to view the images from this show. All images are for sale and one can contact Kathleen Stevens at the Renaissance Fine Art and Design Gallery for more information.

All images in this show are inkjet prints using  Epson Ultra Smooth Fine Art Paper. They are printed on an Epson 9900 printer using the latest Ultra Chrome Inkset Technology.

River of Dreams

River of Dreams.....

Oddly enough I woke up yesterday in the middle of the night and created this image from a single file. Simply turned it around on itself and cropped the bottom end. When I finally woke up  this morning there was a Bily Joel song ringing in my head - hence today's post...



'I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stole
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking for'..................Billy Joel - River of Dreams

Death Valley

Dunes, Stovepipe Wells, Death Valley

One thing being on the road allows for is time to look around the hard drives for images that have been passed over before. Why I am running around the country with all these hard drives is a separate blog but I am happy to have 80-% of my files out here - specifically on a lazy Sunday afternoon while watching football games.

The image today is from last March in the Dunes just outside of Stovepipe Wells. Processing dunes is always a challenge for me - I find myself pushing the envelope to get where I want to go. This one is all texture - all the time....not really sure how I feel about it yet - might take a few more days.

On another note an image I captured up in Maine earlier this year won first prize in the Artistic Category of the 2ND Annual Pogo Art Contest..the image it self was captured and processed in the IPhone 4...

More Hipstamatic

Hinkle Fieldhouse - Indianapolois

The other night in Indianapolis I captured some live music images with the Hipstamatic Camera application with the IPhone 4. The app was not as sharp as I would have liked (low light of course) but I did enjoy the overall feel of the images after some post processing. Hipstamatic gave the images a truly live feel, grain and all...and the angle i had helped a good deal - a bigger then life feel.
