Prints for sale onlinePortuguese Squill, Up Close And Personal
Tiny vivid blue flowers with fluffy lemon yellow pollen adorn the Portuguese Squill plant, Scilla peruviana.
Alright, I admit it – I have an obsession with my macro lenses. What an amazing way to view the world! I love using them to spy on various unsuspecting bees and other insects, and I also spend a lot of time peering into the hidden depths of pollen-rich flowers and admiring delicately veined leaves and petals. Given that my love of photography blossomed out of a desire to document my gardening obsession, it’s only natural that my passion for my flowering friends remains a staple of my photography. The local nurseries are used to seeing me wander around their inventory, camera in hand. However, they don’t seem to mind too much, especially because I usually find a plant or two that I can’t resist bringing home to my tiny garden.

“I feel I cannot touch humanity, even in thought, it is abhorrent to me. But a work of art is an act of faith, as Michael Angelo says, and one goes on writing, to the unseen witnesses.” – D.H. Lawrence, 1885-1930, English, novelist, essayist, literary critic, painter, playwright
More on D.H. Lawrence
His collected works, among other things, represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, some of the issues Lawrence explores are emotional health, vitality, spontaneity and instinct.
Lawrence’s opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile which he called his “savage pilgrimage.At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his considerable talents. E.M. Forster , in an obituary…

Lightning Strike Just Outside of Lyons Colorado
This Colorado lightning thunderstorm came in from the northwest over Rocky Mountain National Park and the town of Lyons heading southeast out to Longmont and down to Denver. We were positioned just out of the hard rain and watched it pass us by and stayed dry, my favorite place to be. This lightning bolt is striking just outside of Lyons Colorado, Boulder County with passing car light trails on highway 36 scenic view looking north.

James Aiken, Photographer
James Aiken, Photographer by Jo Ann Tomaselli, former featured artist
As a photographer, one of my great pleasures is to view an image by another photographer and have my breath taken away. I can honestly say that this happens every time I see an image by New York City artist James Aiken. Possing masterful architectural perception and visual story telling capabilities, James coaxes the beauty out of NYC. His images traverse the undiscovered beauty in Central Park and Grand Central Station then delve into the rarely visited underbelly of back alleys and subway stations.
A virtuoso of the zone system – the gold standard of B&W photography – his exceptionally executed images of landmarks and abstracts jump off the page, grab your attention and take you on a visual journey. I know you’ll enjoy the rhythm, detail, grit, grime and beauty of James’ entire portfolio so I highly recommend…
