While a number of neighborhoods in Detroit have rebounded from the economic devastation there, many more have yet to show a glimmer of health.
Shot from a car while driving in Detroit, November 2015. Processing started on the iPad (mostly iColorama) and finished in Photoshop on the iMac.

Credits: road and sun via PNGwave; background is mine; and the photo of the old Ford with "passengers" is thanks to my friend Kathryn who shot it with her phone for me while we were enjoying a socially distanced walk.
It all started when I sent Renee the three photos you'll see in the first comment box below. I figured she would choose the one she liked best and we would go from there. Instead, she combined all three. Wow!
From there, the collaboration went something like this (major additions only ... there was lots of fine tuning along the way):
Beth -- added sail boat (stay tuned)
Renee -- added lightning and snow caps on the mountains
B -- pelican
R -- the sphere balanced between the two rocks and 3 black birds
B -- four more spheres (the big one at the right covered over the sail boat which was no longer working)
R -- another sphere, the clouds, lightning flare and driftwood with bird
B -- the frame
This is the second collaboration between me and Renee (aka Irene, renaxel, skagitrenee). Enjoy the first here.

The background is either mine alone or it's a byproduct of a collaboration between me and Paul Boudreau – my memory is iffy on this. If the latter ... thanks, Paul :-)!

On Dec. 4, 2016, I had the privilege of participating in a workshop called "Cameras and Dancers" where photographers were paired with dancers for the opportunity to shoot them in a myriad of poses. The location for the shoot was Union Station – a marvelous, historic building and the hub of Los Angeles's metro system.

I never thought about how Brussels sprouts grew until I walked into the grocery store a couple months ago and found a barrel full of stalks of Brussels sprouts. Of course I had to buy a few to take photos of ;-).

Created for TMI's challenge: In the Style of ... ICM (Intentional Camera Movement).
I was shooting on a bright day and with my camera set for ICM effects, but without a filter to compensate for the bright sun. The result was a number of overexposed photos. This one, however, turned out to be one of my favorites, especially when I decreased brightness and contrast, which brought out those lovely pastel colors.
