Wisteria Wednesday, Part 1

Love them, or hate them. Right now, we love them! I have removed two from my backyard Japanese water-garden. After they bloom, its a constant battle to keep them contained. In this first installment of my current wisteria study, I’m happy photographing these beautiful, but invasive vines elsewhere!

Monochrome Monday: Succulent Sedum

At the local farmer’s market this weekend, this sedum caught my eye as an excellent monochrome composition candidate.

Monochrome Monday: From Last Summer

While looking through my catalog, I came across these images from late last summer. Shot near my water garden, I knew these plant subjects would make excellent black & white candidates. The first composition also work well with a vintage Kodachrome emulation.

Part four in this series continues a mix of architectural abstracts, street vignettes and general street photography compositions. Hope you and enjoy, and please share your feedback (positive and negative) on this series. Constructive criticism provides valuable insight to artists as to how the public perceives their art.

The fourth post in this series features several monochrome street photography compositions. Each image followed my typical black and white workflow, which ends with processing to emulate Agfa APX 100 b&w film in Alien Skin’s Exposure X3.

Monochrome Monday: Uptown Charlotte Cityscapes

I’m starting a street photography and urban landscape series from a recent visit to my hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. Arriving early mornings, before my all day meeting sessions in Uptown, I found a lot of great urban subjects to cover. Late afternoon walks after work also offered up some great street photography opportunities.
