Groups I Started and Administer

The Photographer's Craft is a curated gallery of images that demonstrate exceptional vision and execution through the effective use of color, tone, line, form, and light and shadow. Black and white or color images of any photographic genre are welcome. I created the group as a haven, a place to get away from self-promotion and relax in the enjoyment of other people's best work. The group is private but we welcome new members.

Composed of Color is also a curated gallery of images in which color and form work together to form a powerful composition. Works can have an overwhelming color presence or a spot presence. But that color must be critical to the composition--and the composition must be effective and well executed. The color should come primarily from the objects or scene being photographed but some images with color added in processing may occasionally be accepted into the pool. The pool is available only to members--but you can request and invitation to join and then cancel, if you choose, after viewing.

Global Color, another curated gallery presenting people within surroundings shaped by the color that people add to the world in the way we dress, the way we shape our homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods, they ways we select and arrange the everyday objects we handle.

Through a Glass... a curated gallery of images that rely on windows (glass or glassless), mirrors, etc. for their composition, subject, or impact.
