I only seem to be blogging changes to my site as of late, and for that I apologize.

I am forever amazed at what a difference layering on different textures can make between a photo’s start and end. This is my most recent piece of photo art. Quite honestly, the beginning photo was really just intended to be a personal photo. It was my first night in Paris, and by the time I got settled in to explore it was well past dusk and into inky night. … Continue reading →
