Reflection of statues around the Roman Baths. I was drawn to the reflections in the water. The clouds in the sky reflected in the water look like daubs of paint from an artist's palette. The watery silhouettes looked a bit eerie and conjured up times gone by and evoked the atmosphere of the Roman Baths much more than any normal photo of the rooftop could do.
Taken at West Beach along Lake Michigan. I was fascinated with the reflections in the water. This one is my son's reflection

Artist Statement:
This series of images explores the identity of the two women it features. The images are intended to challenge the viewers’ perception of the women by portraying them in an obscure, indirect manner. Although it is deliberately made obvious that both figures are women, their features are not distinct, adding to the mystery of them both and increasing the uncertainty of the viewer.
In each of the images the figures are not photographed directly, but as reflections on distressed surfaces, distorting their images and signifying how the way in which other people perceive these women is so different from their true identity. The constant presence of the red veil is a symbol of their strength and authority.
The decision to take the photographs in this specific location was made after discussion with the two women, who identified this as a place with which they have a considerable history, a place of calm and peace, surrounded by nature and where they feel they can expose their true selves.
In one of the images the photographer can be viewed, concealed between the women and the trees. She is barely noticeable when first viewed, yet is uncovered when the image is explored in greater depth. She seems to be behind the ever-present red veil, as if it is a protective barrier, reflecting the relationship between the two women and myself, the photographer.
Through this series of work I have been able to explore my relationship to these women visually in a way, which I have never been able to articulate through words. I have been able to explain to myself and demonstrate to them the respect that I hold for them and to show how I value their strength and dignity.

Again using photoshop to give a mono lith style effect. gives subtle, slightly soft highlights and deep gritty shadows. Love the way in turns the water so swirly combining the reflection of the clouds.
Spent the day up at Mt. Rainier National Park. This was taken at Reflection Lake, a very popular destination within the park. It was a bit breezy yesterday so no reflection, but the beauty is still overwhelming! When you can catch it the water is as smooth as glass and reflects the Mountain perfectly.
A while back I took a few pic's of some screws that I liked the look of, well...... I work in the steel industry and found these in a box of spares and just had to play with them, kept trying lots of different light n settings, played with the light and the White Balance for this shot I like the almost gold/sepia colours

My lens is not wide enough to get the lovely trees on both sides.. so I got a shot on the reflection.
