Taken 3/1/03. Amaryllis with backlighting and background removed.
I wanted to show the translucency of this beautiful flower that
brightens the winter day. All we need to do is open our minds to see the beauty that
waits for us in the tangles of life.

Taken 3/1/03 Here I shaded, but did not remove, the background.
This kind of digital modification of the image to emphasize some elements
is continuous with techniques film photographers have used.

11/8/02 I named this image from last year Who Needs Abstract
Art? The natural world has all the permutations of form, texture,
and color that any expressive soul could ever want. It has them in
miniature or in great forms, in blazing hue, in subtle moodiness, in insect
wings, in galaxies colliding...

about all birds sleep this way, bill tucked under wing.

9/12/02 - From the series titled The Visit of the PM. This
large insect is the Tyrannosaurus of his world -- great, fearless,
and deadly. I thank the PM for his visit, during which a bit of ham
was shared. Try contemplating being an inch tall and lost in someone's
back yard....

Taken 2/21/03 I once saw a van on the freeway, maybe it was thirty
years ago or more. The beautifully painted sign on the side said "Church
of the Visible Surface". What it meant to the person who made it, I
don't know. But I have found one doesn't need to be a famous (and highly
paid) explainer of deep matters to see the hair-raising strangeness and beauty
of the world we live in. We are always just an inch away from what
is greater than we know.
