White Heron, Florida


I was watching this White Heron steal a fisherman's minnows out of a bucket when he would walk into the waves to cast. The fisherman finally caught him and covered his bucket....I think the Heron had a belly full by then anyway. Finally the fisherman chased him away, and when he took to the air, I was ready and got the shot.
The photo was a little boring so.....you guessed it....I added a texture. This texture was a photo of a pair of blue jeans, thought it gave it a canvas look, or a painterly feel.

Sites of Old Rt. 66


Found this abandoned house in Arizona while traveling with my son (Road Trip).  We had a lot of fun and saw some amazing places. I applied texture (photo of my living room wall) to the print and added an image of the sun, taken on a cloudy day. This was my first attempt at creating a grunge photo.
   It was mentioned that this picture might be better without the tree in front of the house, so I added another version from a different angle. I still prefer  the lower version, but art is in the eye of the beholder. I'm using the term "art" loosely. Thanks for the visit...come again.
