Telling stories is what I do on Storyteller. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Sometimes I veer way off track. Sometimes, I get too political. And, sometimes I just talk about pictures, which is what you came to read. This is about pictures, or rather my working methods. Whenever a subject finds me, I try to give […]
Layering
Defying Gravity
All in my head. I saw one scene. I photographed it. I saw another scene. I photographed it. When the time came I combined them. Oooh. Spooky. The picture does have an eerie feeling to it. Like something out of H.P. Lovecraft. Can’t you just see Cthulhu lurking back in those trees? Lovecraft wrote in […]
Sugar Magnolia
” Sugar Magnolia, blossoms blooming Heads all empty and I don’t care Saw my baby down by the riverside Knew she’s have to come up soon for air We can have high times if you’ll abide We can discover the wonders of nature Rolling in the rushes down by the riverside She’s got everything delightful […]
Only the Song Survives
On Palm Sunday. The world is upside down. Time has no meaning. People are living in fear. Stupidity is the order of the day. Still. There is hope. Even though the current state of change is very negative, there are those of us who think that if we make it to the other side there […]
All The Color
I the dead of winter. This picture is for all of you who still are suffering from cold weather, and I don’t care what that little rodent said. In many places it’s cold. Down In the swamp, we have all sorts of blooms. In this picture I tried to make that point by layering two […]
All Things Change
I promise. You’ve seen the pictures that I layered to make this picture. Based on another bloggers positive comments I thought I would tinker with a couple of them. My intent is to show that while nature always seeks stasis — which is why we are doomed as a species — she is also very […]
Winter Sunlight
They seem early. Spring buds. In fact, the first Japonica buds were early. They arrived in early December. A couple bloomed, another cold spell arrived, and they died. The buds in this picture are right on time. They’ll grow, bloom and fully open towards the middle of carnival. I know this because I’m a creature of […]
All the Colors Part Two
They say that fall is colorful. I agree. So, here they all are. Every color. It must have been my feverish brain that made this thing. This mess. This monstrosity. None of this means that I don’t like what I’m showing you. I do. A lot. Which brings me to showing our work. I read […]
Something for Sunday
Light, color and magic. I made this picture a few days ago. I posted it on Instagram. That meant it popped up on Facebook and Twitter. But, you didn’t see it. It’s a picture that surprised me when I assembled and layered it. So, you get to see it. My apologies to those of you […]
