Baltimore Oriole

" Baltimore Oriole"

This is another digitally manipulated image. I took this photograph of a female Baltimore Oriole from the back porch of our house in Costa Rica. She had been nibbling on insects on the leaves of this tree, and I snapped the shutter just as she took flight.

Flight

"Flight"

This is another image from the back porch in Costa Rica. Buff-throated Saltators are about as common in our part of Cost Rica as Blue Jays are in Dallas. I manipulated this image to accentuate the sense of movement and give it a more abstract appearance. Hope you enjoy it!

Ford

"Ford"

Another rusty truck image. This is the '53 Ford pickup I discovered parked along I35 in Salado not long ago. I used some digital techniques to make the colors of the rust more vibrant and the sky more interesting.

Flying Egret

"Flying Egret"

This is another of my early morning White Rock Lake images. It has been digitally manipulated to give more definition to the water and to the bird. Egrets feed along the edges of the lake in the early mornings and are often very tolerant of my "shooting". Even though they are very large birds, they are quite graceful in flight.

Red-winged Blackbird

"Red-winged Blackbird"

Each spring and summer the cattails along the edges of White Rock Lake provide housing for red-winged blackbirds. Males such as this one are everywhere, singing and performing their displays to attract females. This image has been digitally manipulated to give it a more ethereal, Oriental feel. It's one of my favorites.

City Garage

"City Garage"

This digitally manipulated photograph won an Honorable Mention and will be on display at the 2009 State Fair of Texas. It's one of my favorite images - a nostalgic piece that takes us back to an earlier era. The Ford pickup is from the mid-fifties - the gas pumps perhaps even older. I used digital manipulation to give the image a more ethereal feel.

Looking for Breakfast

"Looking for Breakfast"

This image of a snowy egret hunting for breakfast was taken at White Rock Lake early one recent morning. I love walking at the lake in the early morning when the surface of the lake is like glass. Since the birds are intent on finding a meal, they are more tolerant of me snapping photos. I used a PhotoShop filter on this image to give it a softer, more painterly touch. Hope you enjoy it.

Windows To Our Souls

"Windows To Our Souls"

This is one of the images I created for the TVAA Self Portrait exhibition that is currently showing at the TVAA Downtown Gallery. I based it on the idea that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Self portraits may be windows into the artist's inner being or perhaps an illusion created to present the artist as she/he wants to be seen. Whatever the motivation, artists have been creating self portraits since the emergence of art. The TVAA exhibit presents a variety of interpretations of the self portrait in many different mediums. Please join us for the reception: Saturday, September 12th from 2-4 in the TVAA Downtown Gallery, Plaza of the Americas, Suite G207, 700 N Pearl, Dallas 75201.

Colors of Rust #1

Colors of Rust #1

This abstract image was created from the rusty fender of a 1957 Mercedes Benz that was parked beside a southern Oklahoma highway. When digitally manipulated, rust sometimes produces beautiful, vibrant colors, and I am always surprised to see the transformations that occur through this process. This is one of my favorites. Hope you enjoy it too.

Water Lily

Water Lily

This water lily is an image from my flora series and another that has been enhanced through digital manipulation. I wanted the image to have the appearance of having been painted rather than photographed. Hope you enjoy it.

Vegas Neon

Vegas Neon

This is another digitally manipulated photograph I took a while back in Las Vegas. I love the repetitive circular patterns of the monorail station entrance juxtaposed against the rectangular shapes of the surrounding buildings and the wonderful, somewhat muted colors in this image.

Canyon Wren

Canyon Wren

This image of a canyon wren was taken in the Rio Grande Valley of south Texas. It has been digitally manipulated to give the sky, bird, and tree more variation and definition. The Valley is a wonderful area for birding. Species can be seen there that can be seen nowhere else in the United States.

Hope your week is off to a great start!
