Black and White Fine Art Photography Video

My second YouTube video!
- this time my most popular Black & White Fine Art Photography

This video includes black and white, sepia and duo-tone photography on which I have received the most positive response.  

Black and white fine art photography is not just popular because it adds a classy touch to any room's interior design, but it also tends to bring back memories and make people feel nostalgic. This can add an emotional touch to your home while making you look like a chic and sleek designer.
This classic style of fine wall art compliments all interiors from modern rooms filled with bright color, to minimalistic ones with clean lines and tons of open space, to traditional homes full of antiques.

The Making of a Fine Art Photography Video

My first YouTube photography video!

I thought about putting together some YouTube videos for quite a while but I always assumed it would be a bit complicated. Fortunately, it proved to be a fun process. For this very first video I decided to just put some of my favorite images together and see where it takes me. I used Windows Live Movie Maker, drag and dropped my best landscape photography and chose from a few simple options. When finished, I uploaded to YouTube and found that they even let you choose from a library of music to accompany your photo video. Well, this was a very welcome surprise to say the least! I hope you enjoy it.

Orange Gerber - Photography

Photos of Subtle Complexity
- Gerber Daisies

Feast your eyes on yet another one of nature's gifts this first day of spring. Though a common flower, when brought to an extreme close up, the gerber daisy's countless petals give it an unusual complexity and unbounded beauty very appropriate for today.

Happy First Day of Spring 2013!

Spring Flower Photos Part 2 - Tulips

Images Of Spring

If you're in a particularly cold or wet (like me) part of the world right now, these precious beauties might just brighten your day as they have brightened mine! They lit up my kitchen so beautifully I could not help set up a shoot and photograph them.

As spring approaches tomorrow I see myself and others around me finding joy in the little signs of spring like delicate buds starting to emerge everywhere or even simple bouquets of flowers at the local supermarket. These did come from a market, but they help remind me of the wonderful tulip gardens about to show up at all the parks and front yards. Enjoy!

Spring Flowers - Crocus

Nature Photography Prints - Crocus Spring Flowers

Spring is Coming!
And a photo to prove it :-)

Much to my excitement that spring is coming, a small batch of light purple crocus popped up unexpectedly in front of my house. These crocuses were so pretty I instantly wanted to photograph them. I thought, pick a couple and shoot them inside since outside was quite cold and I really like to be warm. But, when I brought them in and put them in some water, right away their perfect petals began to warp and point in all different directions. Somehow I didn't like the the composition of these random petals so I gently bent them down and got this beautiful result of a ball of a flower. So unexpected and lovely. I decided to set my camera to a very narrow depth of field for maximum effect and voila. A soft, silky flower that used to resemble a crocus now this sweet little ball of beauty.
