Nice Shape and Some Texture

I pass by this tree from time to time. It's near my home, sets on a hill top and serves as a foreground for the daily sunset. I think it has almost the perfect, symmetrical triangle shape. Not bad for a tree growing in the wild without the care of a tree-trimmer. On this particular day, the clouds were low hanging and taking on a great cast of colors. I increased the brilliance of the colors and added a texture layer in post-processing.

Spring Collage Collection

I've put together four final collages that represent the all-new Spring Collection 2008. I am currently working on capturing images for the summer collage collection. Collectors items for sure :)

I have decided to title them "Spring Collection No. 1" rather than "Spring Collection 2008." I like the idea of creating a timeless series rather than a dated collection. Some photos should have a date attached to document a time in your life, etc. while others should be timeless. I think timeless is best in this case.













There are many ideas of what "spring" is. I usually approach things from a less representational side and tend to be a bit more abstract. Bold colors, hints of flowers in bloom as well as wild grasses round out this series.
