Working from reference photographs, the aim is to take the basic image to a higher level. The results, hopefully, speak for themselves.
Trinidad: What is striking is that the large rock in Trinidad Bay was not that huge. Call it artistic embellishment.
Carmel Mission: While visiting, I turned a corner -- and wow! -- these wilting flowers were sitting on a ledge all by themselves. Truly, an instant floral painting.
Olympic High-Jumper: While shooting for the 1984 Olympics, I captured this high-jumper from high atop the LA Colosseum.
A split second made all the difference.
Italian Wine Bottles: In a shop inside a castle in Assisi. See the castles's reflection above the label. Italian wine art is just sitting there, if you see it.
Tuscany Solo Cypress: After considerable detective work and much driving, a classic Tuscany countryside scene.
