Bring Me Dead Flowers/Dried Roses

Over the years we have collected roses from various funerals of beloved family members.
I thought them beautiful and wanted to photograph them.
These are digital images.  I have also photographed them with my 4x5 camera.
I will present them at a later time.  Please click on the image to see the larger photo in the gallery.

Enjoy.

Winter's Desolation

I took this from the side of the road.
I love the dry, desolate look of the landscape during the Winter months.
The trees in their bare beauty seem to invite us into their abyss.

"Winter's Desolation"

4x5 Pinhole exposure.

As we walked along a trail near the Delaware Water Gap in NJ on a chilly, windy, day.  We came upon this scene.  As all the surrounding bushes and lighter branches were in movement, this magnificent tree stood frozen in time.  Hope you enjoy it.  It is a scanned 4x5 negative in an Ambrotype finish.

This scene caught my eye as we drove by from Rushland, PA. We turned around. With no place to stop, I literally had to walk about 1/2 mile on a country road to reach it. This is not uncommon for me. If I see a picture and fail to go back for it I'll be thinking about it for the rest of the day.
So here is what I titled, "The Lonely Emperor" in my "Featured" Gallery. Enjoy!

This photo is from a recent trip down to the Chesapeake Bay area.
We happened by the Kent County Yacht Club and wandered around.
I set up and exposed a few negatives before people started showing up.

These black rocks appealed to me on this rather sunny day.  Enjoy.
This is a scanned 4x5 negative developed with PMK Pyro.
