Old Photos Turn Up in Back Room at Ghost Town!

Posted
Bodie Standard MillBefore anyone thinks my headline for this post is for real, it is not! But I got to thinking about what my photos from Bodie ghost town might look like if they'd been left out in the rain, something like that cake in MacArthur Park!(Hopefully some of you are old enough to get that one!) So I had some fun with "ageing" some of the photos. So that's what this set of aged photos of Bodie is all about. I guess the ones with a lot of blue sky are really too bright to be "old" photos, and really old photos would be black and white of course, but I've already done a sepia set from Bodie. Where will it all end? Here, probably. I think I'm done with Bodie for now, and quite possibly you are too, Dear Visitor.

Anyhow, time for some shameless self-promotion. Did you know you can buy greeting cards, photographic prints, and custom frames for many of my photos? So next time you're scratching your head for some unique greeting cards or some art for your walls or for gifts, go to my gallery at ImageKind and check it out. If there's a photo you saw on this site that you'd like but which isn't at ImageKind - since I'm still working away at uploading my photos and it's a big job, you know - just send me an email and I'll prepare and upload the image for you.

If you want a signed limited edition print of any of my photos, you will also need to email me your request as the print obviously needs to come to me for signing and numbering before it can be sent out to you. All my printing is done by the pros at Adorama and the papers used are all high-quality archival papers tested to last a lifetime at least, and you can't take it with you, unfortunately, so hopefully that's long enough...unless you're planning on living more than one lifetime or I get to be really, really famous and your heirs all fight over your extensive collection of my photos. Wink - Just kidding

Till next time, thanks for visiting!

Before and After: Two Joshua Tree Photographs, Two Painterly Reworkings

Posted
I want to try something a little different in this post — a working walk-through of how two of my Joshua Tree photographs from April of 2011 became two of my newest painterly artworks on Redbubble. Same compositions, same landscape, same afternoon in the Mojave. Very different final pieces. The Raw Photographs Both photographs were taken on a single afternoon trip to Joshua Tree National Park, shot in Canon raw (.CR2) format on my Canon EOS. Raw files are, as any photographer knows, deliberately flat — they carry the maximum amount of information the sensor recorded, without any of the punchy contrast, saturation, or sharpening that a JPEG would apply automatically in-camera. That flatness is a feature: it gives the photographer the widest possible latitude to make choices in post-processing. But it also means a raw file, straight out of the camera, doesn't look like the scene the eye remembers. It looks like the scene the sensor saw, drained of atmosphere. Here are the two r...

Young at Heart: The Active Seniors Collection + Massive Redbubble Sale!

Posted
Ollie Grandpa Stepping into the freedom of retirement after a long, 45-year career completely shifts your perspective. You finally have the time to let loose, hit the road, and truly embrace the fun side of life! That joyful, unrestrained energy is exactly what I wanted to capture in my newest Redbubble collection. I'm so excited to introduce my new " Active Seniors " series, featuring designs that perfectly embody the "young at heart" spirit. The series features a vibrant, adventurous little old lady tearing it up, and a matching active grandpa catching some serious air on a skateboard or cruising on a bright orange motor scooter. Complete with flower-adorned helmets, flying striped scarves, and big, beaming smiles, these characters are a tribute to everyone who refuses to slow down. These make fantastic graphic tees, travel mugs, or stickers for your own "Fa...
