    Looking Up

    A new perspective on viewing a pine tree through the lens of wabi-sabi creativity.

  • April Blizzard

    April Blizzard

    Using atmospheric perspective can help to create depth and eliminate clutter in woodland photography. This photo was taken in April during an unusual thunder storm blizzard.

  • Sitting on a Stump

    Sitting on a Stump

    I registered this image on my Leica Q2 for a Wabi-Sabi project. I like the black and white conversion in how the leaves are light to help the tree and tree stump stand out.

  • Contemplation

    Contemplation

    A bench in the woods can mean different things to different people. Perhaps a place to go for silence or to pause in thought, remembering a moment spent with a dear friend.

  • Black and White Leaves

    Black and White Leaves

    This image was taken during the mid-day sun on a walking trail. I used a narrow aperture and a luma cube to create my own light.

  • Fall River Falls

    Fall River Falls

    This waterfall is in Grand Marais, Minnesota. The city recently built a biking bridge over this pretty little falls so this particular view is hampered by the bridges shadow now. Finding this little gem off the highway will bring you to a hide-away and secluded small beach to spend some quality time enjoying Lake Superior.

  • Cascade Falls

    Cascade Falls

    This is an interesting waterfall in black and white. Notice the animal face on the left and parrot on the right; not as previlent in the color version. This waterfall is located in the Cascade State Park in Lutsen, Minnesota.

  • Shore of Lake Superior, Minnesota

    Shore of Lake Superior, Minnesota

    Also known as Kitchi-Bitobig or Great Pond by the native Anishinaabeg (Ojibwa) Indians.

    Taken in Minneapolis Minnesota from the Guthrie Theater building next door.

  • Geese in the Park

    Geese in the Park

    I came upon this group of geese while strolling in a park. I converted the photo to monochrome and applied a sepia tone.

  • Smiling Cow

    Smiling Cow

    Who doesn't love a smiling cow and Holly here is showing off her smile! She was a young cow full of spunk and curiosity.

  • Norweigan Forest Cat

    Norweigan Forest Cat

    Link is his name. He has semi-long hair and has a rugged appearance. He was a very people friendly cat as well as sensitive yet social. This breed is considered large and sturdy, well-muscled with significant boning. Males weigh from 12 to 16 pounds. Link definitely was a big boy.

    Very inquisitive looking down from the cat-walk above to the humans below.

  • Sophie Waits

    Sophie Waits

    Sophie is a tracking dog who just returned from a run and is now patiently waiting for her owner's return.

  • A Horse, Electric Fence and Water

    A Horse, Electric Fence and Water

    Say hello to my therapy horse, Tandy! I have had her for 19 years, and she has been a good companion the whole time; she is a safe horse and is retired now. She grazes in a pasture in front of our home, and one day I found this scene interesting. Usually, these three elements (horses, water, and electricity) don't naturally go together. Rest assured, the fence doesn't need to be turned on.

  • Rusty Gate

    Rusty Gate

    I like the texture of this gate bracket; the paint is peeling. Do you see the angelfish? And do you notice the cobweb in the opening area where the chain slides down? I did not see these items when I first saw the gate. It was only after editing it that I noticed.

  • Locked Gate

    Locked Gate

    I find this gate eye-catching. I think it has an interest as a subject for black and white photography. I found it as I was walking along a river. The gate encloses space underneath a bandshell. I like the gate's webs and texture and the dark black background; they imply mystery.

  • Dandelion Blowball

    Dandelion Blowball

    Dandelions are perennial flowering herbs. They are not only edible but have a medicinal value and stress reliever. Maybe that is why I enjoy photographing them!
