A New Look
I was playing around with some apps and found a new look. An IG friend @tesswyatt told me she thought it looked like Polaroid emulsion transfers and encouraged me to do more. So I did. Using Snapseed to set the base, TangledFX to create an over the top version and Blender to blend detail with…

Bridge Cathedral
On a recent misty morning, I went for a run to scout the East side of the Fremont Bridge for a photo shoot. What I found in the fog was yes, a bridge, but also a soaring cathedral, full of skyward arches and graceful lines. Made of cement not stone so a modern day church,…

Scenes from Padova Italy, Part 2
Our guide-book warned that visits to the Capella degli Scrovegni in Padova are by reservation only. We didn’t have one on Thursday morning but, at our guide-book’s suggestion, we showed up anyway and asked if there were any spaces left. Fortunately, we were able to get in one hour later. At the appointed time of 12:40 we…

Scenes from Padova Italy Part 1
Orto Botanico or the Botanic Garden of Padova is just off busy plaza Prato Della Valle. Tucked away from busy roads even in 27C heat, here it is cool in the shade. It’s perfect for a jet-lag nod-off on one of the benches. Focused on rare plants in the Veneto region of Italy, the garden dates…

If you want images now on a negative to be available on your iPhone there are a few ways to get there for low volume efforts. I tried an iPics2Go portable scanner for the iPhone 4 and 4S recommended by Dan Burkholder in a recent workshop I attended (and will soon right about). The gizmo is on…

Meditation on Good Friday
I don’t have the right words for this photo yet so these will have to do for now. This photo reminds me that often there are (at least) two different realities going on at the same time, the physical and the spiritual. For example, how can a day be called “Good” that was the death of Jesus?…

Flying Away
A fellow Instagrammer, @randommarcus or Marcus Carlberg, let me know what app he used to shoot one striking photo in his stream. It was Fotor HDR. I tried it out this week on a flight. Here’s the color image as shot but cropped square using the rule of thirds to place the wing tip: There are…

Does Your Contrast Show
I found a great app through Geri Centonze’s Art of Mob. In mid-February she profiled John Hornbeck’s app called Contrast. I really liked the look of the images so decided to experiment with it. Here are a few images. One of the things I love about this app is the richness and certainty of the blacks.…

The Power of Perspective
It’s a question that doesn’t get asked and answered once. It’s one that pops up as many times as people ask a pregnant woman when she’s due but instead of for a few months, it’s for a lifetime. How am I going to look at this? This circumstance. What are some circumstances? (all hypothetical): I…
