This is 50 of the 58 photos that were removed from Flickr. Since I use Flickr to store my favorite photos I am reposting them.
Selective focus wide open - Testing a new old Canon AE-1 35 MM camera with 135MM f3.5 prime lens set at 1/500 sec. at f3.5 on Fuji Superia iso 200 color negative film for minumum depth-of-field. This isolates a specific point of interest. Negative scanned with an Epson V700 scanner. All my published books, available world wide, can be viewed here:

Macros with a non-macro lens are dodgy at best, but at least the front half is reasonable. The only damselflies out and about on this early Spring morning. Common Bluetail in Minnippi Parkland.
Playing around with a bit of selective colouring to emphasize the beautiful colours and patterns in this wonderful species of spider .Maratus anomalus (Peacock jumping spider).
I am working on a series of rose pictures in an attempt to move beyond what I have seen before. Rose pictures are plentiful and often suffer from the "Hallmark"effect. By this I mean overly sentimentalized and traditional. These typical rose pictures are beautiful but they are difficult to present as "art." Art needs some additional meaning or value that goes beyond the surface. I am not sure what these future rose pictures will look like. I am taking "study" pictures until I figure it out.

same people (Kerouac, Ginsberg, Carr,) different place: youtu.be/2NPdeJ_X0YU
"Carlo (a.k.a. Ginsberg) and I went through rickety streets in the Denver night. The air was soft, the stars so fine, the promise of every cobbled alley so great, that I thought I was in a dream."
- Kerouac
there is an element of that here, still ...I see many Denver artists include some alley stuff in their portfolios. It's not always the place but what you feel the place is....or what was already interpreted for you. These people were a generation before me but their literary works were required in my classic literature classes in high school, so they weigh heavily in my perception of Denver.
Now·a·days, you have to really dig for the soul of the city and the music scene is pretty thin here, too. It's like a spaceship descended on the town and replaced it with the slick version of its urban legend self.
