Light and Shadow
Light and shadows are fundamental building blocks of photography. Light is the essence of photography, without it, there would be no image. The quality, direction, and intensity of light can drastically alter the appearance of a photograph. Shadows are powerful storytellers. Shadows can reveal shapes, hide the irrelevant, create abstract patterns, bring out textures, even…… Continue reading Light and Shadow

A funny thing happened …
… actually, a series of funny things … A couple of days ago I did as I often do. I stepped back from my hardships and tried to forget the problems by doing a bit of art. What I came up with was this kaleidoodle; I posted it on the Silver Canvas site. https://silvercanvas.ludwig.gallery/2024/07/kaleidoodle The…… Continue reading A funny thing happened …
Rear View
Did you know that hawks can turn their heads almost 180 degrees? Here our hawk was actually taking a bath in our birdbath. Took plenty of time too. Our other bird friends were raising a ruckus, but the hawk was undisturbed until he saw us watching. That was a pretty dirty look. Guess it was…… Continue reading Rear View
Our Little Peachtree
It is a “volunteer” in our back yard. Each spring it lights up with beautiful blossoms. A photo from back in 2016 became the logo of the Peach Blossom Artists group. Like the blossoms, the group lit up with creative activity. Like the blossoms on our little tree, the group faded after a while. After…… Continue reading Our Little Peachtree

Ghost Spider
It can happen to anybody, of course. As I was getting ready to take a photo of Mrs. Joro, I accidentally pushed the release button all the way down. I hadn’t focused yet and was still wondering what aperture I should use. When I heard the click, I mumbled something to myself, something on the…… Continue reading Ghost Spider

Diamond
Diamond in the making … After my clean, precise “Doily” how about something messier? It started with a nice photo of a daisy – and went downhill from there. There are two dozen, yes – 24, transformations of that photo in my files. They were created over a month’s time. Here are the (currently) final…… Continue reading Diamond
Doily
Recently a series of kaleido-art images concluded over at Ludwig.Gallery. The show received scant notice. That was not unexpected. Here is a brand new, unpublished kaleidoodle titled “Doily”. Just to remind anyone coming by that this addiction is not going to end anytime soon. Doily
Feeding Time
Seeing an Appreciating It is not at all uncommon that a photo of mine that I consider one of my best, or at least one of my favorites, gets yawns from my friends. In fact, most of the time when picking “good photos” from my collection, others rarely pick what I hold dear. There is…… Continue reading Feeding Time
Tree
Tree glowing in photoodle glory Nothing special, just a photoodle of a sycamore tree.

Lament
… why, oh why? It is really, really frustrating. This website used to be hosted by a small internet service provider. As I was planning to add features, I started to feel bad. WordPress was changing and the new approach put more and more computing chores unto the severs. In days past the html code…… Continue reading Lament
