Natures Art

Just Decided to add some nature photos this time, for a change of pace.


I'll call this one Reflection.





I was able to capture this one in real subtle tones.







And finally what may seem like an ugly stump, turns out to be an old growth vine. For some reason it just draws you in and gives you an illusion of some kind of alien or something unexplained.

Going Back in Time

Having the opportunity to see period furnishings in their actual environment is one thing, being able to capture them with a camera is another. Considering the only light that is available is coming from a window or a 40watt light bulb, it brings me a challenge to capture these images with long exposures and a steady hand. These rooms and furnishings are from the 1850's and were owned by General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, one of the original large land grant owners in Sonoma County, California.
