Going to a Good Home- “The Cove”

Heading off to a good home (all framed up and matted) is one of my newest pieces, introduced to my gallery this week. “The Cove” is a shot taken at Cade’s Cove in Tennessee on a beautiful fall day! Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) I didn’t get to see any bears but the deer were out in full force. If you have a chance to stop by Cade’s Cove during the autumn months, I highly recommend it!

“The Cove,” a square format print, printed on premium archival paper, is available in several sizes, along with a number of other new pieces, in my online galery found here.

Wishing everyone a happy Sunday!

“Mangia“, a tryptic of delightful treats from a wonderful bakery I came across during my trip to Venice, Italy is playfully nicknamed, “The Cannoli Tryptic.” Cannolis, pistachio cookies, and streudel, there was, sadly, not enough time to try one of everything in this delightful find along the Grand Canal.

Treated with vintage actions and printed on premium Lustre paper that protects against fingerprints and scratching, the print set would make a fun addition to any kitchen decor. The tryptic can now be found here in my online gallery.

New Creations- “Ville” and “The Bank”

Two new additions to my paris.rome.and.beyond series are “Ville” and “The Bank.” Both prints are available separately but also pair well together.

Both were shot at dusk in Paris, one along the banks of the river and the other while walking through the charming areas just off the banks. I’ve layered them to give an aged, almost vintage, feel. I love playing with depth of field in my shots and these two are no exception.  I love the aged, almost “ghostly” feel of both.

I’ve added a few new prints from Paris to the series and all are available in my online gallery, here.

A new addition to my paris.rome.and.beyond series, I am pleased to introduce, “Days Past” an aged metallic photograph from Paris.

This photo, hand layered with an original texture made from the “leftovers” of a scanned  piece of Polaroid pull apart film, is overlooking Paris from Notre Dame. The Kodak Endura Metallic Paper that I use to print this brings out the aged look with it’s amazing “chrome like” feel.

The print is available in sizes all the way up to 24×36 and is printed with a small white border for easy matting and framing.  Black Friday through Cyber Monday (ending 11/30 at midnight) all prints are Buy One Get One with free international shipping. Check out my online gallery for details.

Going to a Good Home, “All That Glitters”

Heading off to a new home is one of my favorite prints from my trip to Savannah, Georgia a couple of years back, “All That Glitters.” The photo is a shot of a vintage chandelier as seen through an antique mirror in one of the very beautiful historic homes in Savannah. The house these are in is said to be haunted and I wanted to capture that with the photo, layering it for an aged, vintage feel. I could just picture a beautiful Southern belle many, many years ago, looking in the mirror, getting ready for the grand gala that would be taking place in the grand ballroom just next door to this room. Nervously primping her hair, straightening her dress, and getting ready to dance the night away with her love.

I am so very pleased that this print was purchased in the largest format I offer, 24×36 as while I love any picture, no matter how small, I especially love to see my favorites large and in charge in all their glory. Just last week I shipped off another large format print, of “The Barn” and was so pleased that my buyer absolutely loved it (feel free to check out the feedback here).

This and many other prints can be purchased in all sizes in my online gallery. I absolutely love custom orders whether it be large format prints, gallery wraps or framing so, if you don’t see it, definitely send me a message!

Going to a Good Home, “Smoke”

I’m always toying around with new ways to shoot photos whether it be trying out a different lens, shooting from a different angle or, in this case, trying out a new filter.

“Smoke” is an 8×8 print of a beautiful dark pink bloom that I came across while wondering through Cheekwood Botanical Gardens in Nashville, TN. Doesn’t look pink right? I took this photo with an infrared filter attached to my macro lens. Now, if you look at other examples of infrared photography, this isn’t quite the same, but, regardless, I loved the end result of this photo.

Layered just slightly to give it a textured effect, I love how the flower ended up looking like billowing smoke. I’m still toying with the infrared photography, and plan on offering more as time goes on. In the mean time though, check out “Smoke” in my online gallery, as well as others available.

Going to a Good Home “First Leaf of Fall”

Going to a good home is a beautiful large format metallic print of “First Leaf of Fall.”

Now, those who have read past blogs have heard me tout metallic paper’s high quality and amazing look so I won’t go in to it ad nauseum but seriously folks, with a print like this one, I can’t even begin to do justice in explaining how wonderful it looks. OK, I’m sorry, I lied, I need to talk about metallic paper again.

Having been called, “chrome on paper,” metallic paper highlights vibrant colors while providing a subtle yet beautiful dimension to photographs that is unmatched by other papers. While it’s not for every print, in “First Leaf” the reds and oranges of the leaf almost pop off the paper while the browns of the table underneath take on a truly realistic quality. You can see every line of the leaf and almost feel like if you touch the paper, you will be able to pull the leaf off the page.

This print, among others are available in metallic paper in multiple sizes in my online gallery. Custom sizes are always available. Feel free to browse around!

Photo of the Day- “Firenze”

Anyone that knows my collective works as a photographer knows that the majority of my inspiration comes from my trips to Italy. While I’ve traveled to many beautiful countries in a relatively short period of time, my two trips to Italy were two of my favorites.

There is so much to love about Italy, the people, the food, the sites, the sounds; taking it all in can be overwhelming at times but equally as amazing. Last year, I traveled from Rome up to Venice via train with visits to Pompeii and Florence. This last stop is where my photo of the day hails from.

“Firenze” is an abstract shot of a Trenitalia train waiting in the station at Firenze Santa Maria Novella, the train station in the heart of this beautiful city. I love the intense red of the front light against the green-blue of the train body. I was extremely pleased with the final outcome and how the light was just right bouncing off the side of the train. While abstract in nature, it’s not so abstract that you can’t see that it’s a train; I was very pleased with this balance.

This metallic print is available in my online gallery along with many others from my Italy series.
