Winter wonderland

Just a test of my Wordpress iPhone app that allows me to make quick posts from my phone. I took this photo just 30 minutes ago and did all processing on my iPhone using the Best Camera app and Photoshop Mobile. Sometimes the best camera (and computer as well) IS the...

Rock collecting

I processed this image recently, although I actually made the exposure back in August 2008.   I worked with it quite a bit to give it some depth and dimension.   I wanted it to look like you could pick one of the rocks up off the page and put it in your...

Winter solstice

Musical notes It seems Winter has been with us in Michigan for well over a month now, despite its unofficial start today in this region of the world.   I often wondered why can't we have fall colors start a month early?!  🙂   On second thought, that would probably...
