Reaching Out (Blue)

Sometimes you have to go searching for photographs and sometimes they just find you. One foggy morning I drove by a farm that had a beautiful bare tree in a field next to the farmhouse. The light was fairly dim and I didn't have my tripod with me. Nonetheless, I knew I just had to make a photograph of the scene and pulled over to the side of the road. I needed to carefully brace myself against another tree in the dim light in order to keep the camera still enough to get a sharp image.

The added and unexpected 'gift' in the photo, which is not easily seen on the small computer screen, is the crow sitting on the large branch at the bottom left of the tree. I hadn't seen it when I took the picture, but it just adds that little something special to the final print.

This photo was taken in color, converted to black and white, and then toned. It is also available in sepia and red tones. The three, when hung together, make a very compelling triptych.

Starry Night I

These abstract tree portraits came about as I was experimenting with combining images in different ways. Their bizarre shapes and splatters somehow reminded me of the Starry Night painting by Van Gogh, which is why I titled them as I did.
