The most surprising sights … Driving on a rural road in the Green Swamp of Central Florida we passed this very unique fence/art installation. Capture and edited in Lightroom Mobile on my iPhone 7 plus.

Color or Black & White? Back in the days of film photography you used either color or black & white film. With the advent of digital photography, the choice became one to make when editing.

2017 begins with macros … I am loving the iPhone 7 plus camera, and just before Christmas I received a mounting plate for attaching my Moment lenses.

I had a photograph selected for another juried show — The 35th Annual Juried Photography show at the Mill Pond House in St. James, the Smithtown Arts Council Gallery. The theme of the show is HOME, and along with entries artists were asked to submit a statement about their work. As my work tends to be observational as opposed to introspective, I approach the theme of home from the viewpoint of the outside looking in.

I originally posted this photo edited, but with the image exactly as shot. There was another person, just outside the image who was also making a bubble, and the person’s hands and sticks were visible.
