Mountain Stream

Captured in the Italian Alps along SS251.

After climbing down a concrete storm drain and moving my clumsy butt over rocks I finally got in position next to the stream and took 3 exposures to fuse and digitally manipulate for a final image.

Back Alley

Photograph taken in Monroe, MI.

When I think of urban photographs I tend to lean in the way of dark, dreary alleys dripping with condensation from sweat shops. This is the aura I have tried to create in this photograph. Although its a small town in Michigan, it could very well be mistaken for a back street in any major city in the country.

No Pass

Simply photo shot looking upward towards one of the Dolomite giants and then digitally manipulated in Photoshop.

I didn’t do a whole lot to this image but I thought it turned out pretty cool.

Old Mountain

Its probably obvious by now that I thought the Dolomites were just an incredible area to visit and to photograph.

Anyways, after layering textures and a little Photoshop help, the image you see is the final product.

Passengers In Time

This is looking out across the Venetian Lagoon at the Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore.

Once again, using Photoshop and some available textures I tried to create an image of a photo taken midway through last century and then forgotten for five decades.

Lonesome Vigil

One lonesome tree looking over a quiet pond just south of Columbus, OH.

Cliff Dwellers

While driving SS51 in Italy on my way to Cortina d’Ampezzo I stopped my Citroen on the side of the road to check out the view. Looking south (or east, I wasn’t sure because the road winds so much) I saw these homes on the edge of a small cliff. The view somewhat reminded me of Ronda, Spain; without the magnificence of the mountain backdrop.

Anyways, after some Photoshop texture and layering enhancements, this is the final image.

Smoke Break

This photo was captured in Monroe, MI.

While wandering around the back alleys, I noticed this couple out back having a smoke break and thought the lighting from the lamp above the woman’s head would make for an outstanding urban black and white photo.

The Backstreets of Venice

Photograph taken along one of the back canals of Venice, Italy and digitally enhanced to create an aura of mystery and the unknown.

Ominous

Photo taken down one of the lonely country roads just north of Columbus, OH.

With a little contrast enhancement along with Photoshop Black and White adjustments, the image appears as if something ominous is on the horizon.
