I added saturation to the color in this macro photo of a curb in San Diego. Canon PowerShot S40.

Neenah ~
This image, scanned from a negative, is a section of a manhole cover. Neenah, oh Neenah! Your manhole covers “can be found throughout the central United States and parts of Europe,” according to Wikipedia. Long may they resist rust. For those of you who live in Europe, have you seen Neenah in your city? Let me know if you find it. The name is supposedly the Winnebago Indian word for “water or running water” (Wikipedia again).
Black and rust ~
Digitized from film negative. I didn’t make any changes to this shot except some slight color correction. This will be the last of the vandalized-dumpster shots, I think.
Dumpster dive ~
Dumpster series no. 8
Dumpster series no. 10
Dumpster series no. 6
Dumpster series no. 4
These are peeling-dumpster photos (see explanation in the previous post, Under the Sea) that I’ve exhibited various places or that are on my website. But upon going through my old files, I see two or three more that I’d like to work with, so I’ll be staying with this one dumpster a little longer. Four of the photos above were taken with digital point-and-shoots; one was shot on film and digitized. Is the film photo easily distinguished from the rest?
Georgetown window no. 3 ~
This is my favorite of the window photographs I took in Georgetown last Saturday. iPhone photo, cropped.
Georgetown window no. 1 ~
Georgetown window no. 1
Getting away from travel-related posts here for awhile and back toward art photography.
A new leaf ~
I finally redesigned my photography website and it’s now live. Readers of this blog will find some photos that I’ve posted here, but also lots of older ones. These images were taken with a wide range of cameras. Some of the oldest were digitized from negatives; others were taken with a digital SLR, with a variety of point-and-shoots, with my new 4/3 Olympus, and with my iPhone. I hope you enjoy the website! Feedback is heartily invited.
