Grazing Lady



I love the wild horses of the Outer Banks in North Carolina.  I believe this infrared image of a horse grazing on the sparse vegetation symbolizes the wonderful freedom we enjoy.  Colorizing the original black and white adds a sense of drama for me, especially in the sky.



I also enjoy the image in its original black and white.  Either way, the image speaks to me and I want to share it with others.

Published


In the past few weeks, two of my photographs have been selected for publication.  While my work has appeared in print before, it was either images of local events in area newspapers or commissioned portraits I did for a national trade publication.  This is the first time I have had any of my fine art work published and I am very excited!

Street Beat appeared in the August issue of Eye on Fine Art Photography magazine, which featured street photography.  The photograph was taken in the French Quarter of New Orleans.


Hangin' Out was selected for The Artists of Rubber City (AORC), Present Tense, Contemporary Art in Ohio, a Juried Exhibition in Print.  I took this at the Oakley House Plantation in Louisiana.

I certainly have no expectation that my work will continue to get published, but it is a lot of fun when it happens!

Woodland Gem


Lee and I visited Nature Realm in Akron a few weeks ago and I took along my infrared camera.  I am on a roll right now with colorizing black and white images in Photoshop, so I decided to play around with one of the photos I took and this is the result, which I call Woodland Gem.

I like the original, which is below, but am fascinated with how changing colors causes us to see things in very different ways.


Woodland Gem is available through Fine Art America at the following link.
