Both photographs were taken in 1948 in The Hague, Holland and both convey a certain depressive atmosphere. The camera was a Retina 35 MM of modest capability. Ilford 25 film "hit and miss" exposure.

The photograph to the left was taken in an old section of town. Timed exposure with back-flash behind the girl. The picture to the right was taken in a local church around fasten explaining the covers over the statues.

Left, reflections of trees in a canal. Right, view from a back window. It was the scenery I looked at it for most of my younger years. It gave me the motivation to go on to better places. Scheveningen-Holland

I crossed paths with this goat somewhere in the Bahamas. Is she was looking how safe it is  before crossing? To the right is a lone fisherman on a Dutch (Scheveningen) beach. I grew up on this .

# BW-407  Lone Fisherman

Not so old is this image of  a very old pine beach but left home at an early agetree. I noticed this tree on Beach Drive NE in St. Petersburg FL. The image was shot in color on Kodak Royal Gold 200 using a Canon Elan 7E with a 28-135 AF/IS zoom lens. Photoshop was used to remove the color and to crop the image slightly to remove foreground clutter.

There is something about B&W photography. Often two images of the same theme one in color and one in black & white, the latter one can be more arresting the the color one. Why that is I do not know. This picture taken in the Halifax Preserve is such an instance as well as the image of a canal in St. Petersburg FL

# BW-410  Halifax Swamp road

 

# BW-605 10th Street Canal St. Pete FL

Lilies is the title of the image to the left Printed after special process it is an attractive image. Somewhat submissive and peaceful. Makes for an attractive wall piece.

Right, a Portofino image converted to B&W and edited for best tone.

The two seagulls to the left were shot from the back of a fishing boat while cleaning fish near  the transom. Originally shot in color, it was processed in Photoshop creating a B&W with red filter effect. This print has outstanding visual display qualities.
