MINI-Challenge 17 - Summer Of Love (Art from 2017)

“I am young, I am twenty years old; yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over an abyss of sorrow. I see how peoples are set against one another, and in silence, unknowingly, foolishly, obediently, innocently slay one another.”

Erich Maria Remarque: "All Quiet on the Western Front".

Having fun putting together some colour and b&w images of Mr. Bruce Cockburn and the very talented Jenny Scheinman taken at an outdoor concert in 2014.

Glacial erratic, that is - one of the countless millions of rocks and boulders dropped on the prairie by receding glaciers at the end of the most recent Ice Age, about 11,500 years ago.

I used digital filters to create a pseudo-infrared look for this image. No idea why; I just liked it that way. The rock was off-centre in the original (horizontal) framing, so cropping square allowed me to place it where I felt it belongs. It isn't always possible to get everything right when I'm on location. I was "thinking in black and white", though.

This is the second image of a black and white set I have assembled to "reset" my own creative response to the wild (and not so wild) prairie at my doorstep. I'll be back to the birds and other critters soon enough. This current offering is about getting back to the basics (with or without filter effects). To clarify: take colour out of the mix and what do we have? Does the image hold up? Is it structurally (ie. compositionally) sound?

Outer beauty attracts, but inner beauty captivates.

(Kate Angell)

I was recently given one single dahlia blossom, the size of a dinner plate! While the giant blossom literally took my breath away - I looked into the middle of the flower and found its inner beauty even more lovely.

Let us try hard to be kind to one another as we begin another New Year. May nations join hands in achieving the goal of peace, that is so important to all of us.

“Happiness and peace will come to earth only as the light of love and human compassion enter the souls of men.”

This pair seemed oblivious to the rest of the world around them and spent all their time playfully following each other and away from the herd.

The mist is real. There are two images positive/negative overlapped and using a sparse, large size eraser at 30% density erased the top positive layer to expose the negative image while at the same time creating the atmosphere of a foggy winter's day (which it isn't).

Autumn has arrived in Alaska. Night temperatures are dipping down into the low thirty's in much of our state, and the leaves and ground cover will reach peak colors over the next ten days. The summer insect's have disappeared, and the hunters are out in full force. Meanwhile the Lynx are chasing the army of rabbits that have been surrounding our cabin since early spring. It's a wonderful time of year in the far north - that is, if you have all of your chores done for winter.

Anyone familiar with this building in Niagara Falls would not recognize it due to the colour shown. The building has an inherited darkened grey stone facade which easily became invisible beyond the trees, shrubs, hanging vines and grey sky.

Using the original monochrome image combined with a sepia copy revealed the building with a strikingly different result.
