Buffalo at Custer National Park in South Dakota.
The crows in Santa Fe made me think of Carlos Castenada and my friend Paul.
Ho, Ho, Ho.
Another special effect piece.

A recent trip to Nelson Atkins Museum.
Gracie in her favorite position under the blanket on a comfortable lap.
Charlotte shot the original. I adjusted with watercolor and displacement map.
Slides from Italy. Of course, slides would not look like this but it is Photoshop, right?
Intended to look like a strip of color film. Same story, but fun to do.
A stylized photograph of one of the bridges along the Seine in Paris.
Not a great image, but I created the wall in photoshop. It reminded me of the London subway.

Happy Holidays
The folks got to go Italy and all I got was this lousy hat!

Flowers
The originals are on CJ's web page. These have had a bit of backstage magic applied to make them more interesting to me. I used displacement maps with a variety of artistic filters to achieve the effect.

San Francisco
Charlotte shot this with a medium format film camera, then we scanned the image. Her timing and point of view were great.
Another view of the bridge, courtesy of Charlotte. CJ had to hike about 8 miles to get these shots, with a full backpack. The high price of art!
