8 NEW PHOTOS? GRAPHICS?

Hi, Everyone.

I'm starting to look at my art in a different way.  I am a photographer, and I am a graphics artist.  So, does that make me a Graphics Photographer?  I think that better fits what I have been doing lately.  I am currently in two Photomontage classes.  When the classes are over, I will post more straight photography, but for now, I just barely have enough time to produce the class work that is due.  One of the classes ends this week, so there will be some relief, but I also have the Delaware Photographic Society competitions twice a month that I need to work on, and a couple of Photographic Society of Amrica entries due and then the spring always brings the seminars to town.  A busy, busy time.  I hope you will enjoy my postings, whatever you may call them, and stay tuned for more photography.

We have a trip to the southwest planned soon and I will have tons of new photos from that, hopefully.  So for those of you who love the photos, but the graphics arts not so much, please come back for more photos soon.

But for now...

A lesson in postcards!

Postcard from Kinsale, Ireland - 1999

Postcard of Cactus on Peralta Trail - 2006

Postcard from San Xavier Mission, Tucson, AZ - 1980

The lesson was to make old time postcards.  I went through old travel photos and came up with the three above.

 A lesson in Drop Shadow!

Butterbutt in Drop Shadow

Sunrise at the Grand Canyon in Drop Shadow

Our own Marlboro Man in Drop Shadow

I think this is the best one.

Good job, Har!

I took this photo in December 1983 while visiting friends on a Dude Ranch in Tucson, AZ.  Harry is a longtime friend.  We go back 40 some years.  Ouch!  But a nice ouch.

And from the 26 letters in 26 Days class...

I present to you, the letter "M"!

And... the Letter "N"!

Both were taken from the sign at the Mexican Post Restaurant.

So there you have it.  I've been busy going out to shoot some letters, but the others were taken from past photos.  I'm learning lots and having just the best time.

But I really do need to get out and shoot soon.

I promise to bring back the photos.  But isn't it fun to see what you can do with them?

Ta Ta for Now!!
