Sam Francis is renowned for his California Abstract Expressionist work. Born in San Mateo, California in 1923 Francis served in the US Air Force and studied at the University of California, Berkeley from 1941 to 1943. Following an accident which injured his spine he spent his time painting whilst recuperating and decided to give up his planned career in medicine to pursue his artistic studies. Although his compositions often appear spontaneous and artless, Sam Francis was a highly disciplined artist. In his later works he pushed out the abstract forms to the edges of the composition, leaving large empty spaces, again in accordance with the Oriental notion of negative space. He died in Santa Monica, California, 1994.

Tuesday was Blade Runner night. I was Zhora Salome but my costume was altered to hide the fact that I'm no Joanna Cassidy - lol - but I try! : )
This panoramic shot was taken along the Sam Knob Trail in the Pisgah National forest, NC (near the Shining Rock Wilderness). The valley on the left is to the south, where the West Fork Pigeon River flows. The trail proceeds from west to east until Black Balsam Knob is reached. There was a very small (albeit visible) break in the continuous fog, and I couldn't pass up this opportunity. The trail itself (and the Art Loeb Trail, once Black Balsam Knob is reached), provides many stunning views such as this due to a large fire in the early 1900's which destroyed the topsoil in the area. This particular shot is 12 individual pictures fused in Photoshop using the Photomerge feature.
