Florence, Italy
Shot the same day as the “Flatiron District” photo. In addition to the rainy day helping to saturate the colors, a man with a (can you believe it) blue umbrella walked through the frame completing the composition.
Crouched under an umbrella on a rainy day I watched this woman walk into my shot of the Flatiron Bldg. I knew that if I caught her at the right time her umbrella and red shirt would bring balance and a focal point to the picture. The image was later manipulated to make a flat lit, ugly, gray rainy day look surreal and ominous.

Given to me by my sister this past Christmas, this Amaryllis flower grew much larger than I expected. I took some pictures of it in January using a technique that produces a very deep focus. After printing it on a watercolor type paper I decided to include it in this exhibition. It is the only 2019 entry.

Richmond, Virginia
While attending an event at Shagbark Restaurant in Richmond I noticed a striking light array that appeared recently cleaned. Converted to Black and White the stark globes have more impact than in the original warm color version.
