It’s that time of year when it is hard to find a good weather window to go out and shoot and the over 5000 images I have in my files from this year are nagging at me. So, this week I started the process of sifting through and deleting those with no redeeming value and… Continue reading Summer Flowers

Autumn Leaves
I had to take another trip to Lithia Park this week and it was still stunning though perhaps past peak. I wanted to share a macro image in contrast to last week’s landscape though I again had many beautiful images of both genres to choose from. Beautiful as these leaves were they were a little… Continue reading Autumn Leaves
Van Gough meets Lithia Park
I thought that being in the throes of moving I had completely missed fall color this year but a post from a fellow photographer alerted me to the fact that Lithia Park in Ashland was still putting on a pretty good show. It was hard to pick an image of the week there was so… Continue reading Van Gough meets Lithia Park
Poppy Impression
Well, photography has been about the furthest thing from my mind this week as I have been busy closing on my new house and working out all the last minute bugs. So, I had to pull something out of the archives to process at the last minute. This poppy was shot in April at the… Continue reading Poppy Impression
Windows
It wasn’t a big week for photography between resting on my laurels after completing the 100 days project and last minute issues with the completion of my new home. I did spot these natty awnings in downtown Medford where I was meeting a friend for dinner and the evening light couldn’t have been more perfect. … Continue reading Windows
Day 99 – Provolt Store
Here’s another one from the Applegate Valley. I admit I hoped at the time that trip would give me enough images to finish out the project. The processing challenge on this one was that I wanted to give it a painterly look but I still wanted to be able to read the 7up sign. After… Continue reading Day 99 – Provolt Store
Day 98 – Vitus Vinifera
I took a little drive through the Applegate wine country this week hoping to get a chance to photograph some grapes. This image or something similar has been in my mind every since I was in Italy and too sick to get off the bus when we stopped at a vinyard. I’m hoping there will… Continue reading Day 98 – Vitus Vinifera
Day 97 – Barber Pole
I haven’t added anything to the Nostalgia collection in awhile so I was excited to come across this barber pole in Jacksonville, Oregon yesterday. I had to photoshop out some other signs and crop to make it a more generic barber shop. Then I processed it in CEP and finally took it into Topaz Impression… Continue reading Day 97 – Barber Pole
Day 94 – Morning Glory
I took a stroll in the park yesterday and found some amazingly beautiful Morning Glories. Still fascinated with Topaz Impression. This one got the Cezanne treatment
Day 93 – Lock
I’m still having fun processing earlier images in Topaz Impression. this is a lock on the side of a barn door out in the orchard country.
