I am a photographer living in Massachusetts with a passion for flowers and nature. I take the time to reveal the special beauty of each subject and I hope that comes through in all of my images. I love experimenting with filters and textures, and you’ll see some of the results of those experiments in my gallery.
My Work Available for Purchase
I now have a shop on Fine Art America where you can purchase my images as cards, prints, tote bags, and a number of other products. You purchase the products from them and you get a 30-day money-back guarantee!
The Dance of Joy
This glorious black-eyed susan, joyously pirouetting on a most perfect summer’s evening, was one of the highlights of our recent visit to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay, Maine. The gardens usually close at 6:00 in the summer, but this was a member evening so we had the pleasure of shooting in the magical evening light until 7:30.
We’d been looking forward to this evening all month, so we were a bit dismayed when raindrops started to fall as soon as we arrived. But the shower passed quickly and the rest of the evening was just, well, picture-perfect!
I processed this graceful dancer in PS with RadLab (customized setting) and a touch of Topaz Detail, then added layers of Ovid Banished (Flypaper Textures) and Jai Johnson’s Touch of Autumn canvas texture.
