My Back Yard in May

Four kinds of yellow roses all at once.

Out my backdoor

 Early AM

Foggy AM

 Winter music in the vineyard -

While I'm on this track - two more Calla Lily variations -

Calla Deco

Calla Day

Catching up - the top image was in the online gallery of last year's CPA juried show. Both started with pictures of a calla lily and sunset taken with an old iPhone and manipulated in Photoshop CS2. 

A Leonardo-like version of Michael's Hill.

How'd I Do It?

As daughter Sue announced to friends on Facebook, an image of mine is in the Juried Exhibition at The Center for Photographic Art in Carmel. It was great to have her there at the opening, mirroring back all the happiness I was feeling.

How did I do it? I'm just very lucky. I like what someone wrote in the press release - that 'the works represent experiments, trends and currents coursing through the photography world'. 

How did I make this image? It was all done with my iPhone. I photographed an old gouache from my sketchbook of a view from a Big Sur window and used several apps to get an effect I might have painted.
