My photography blog here is intended to complement my painting blog - you may see some photos that you recognize as paintings, and vice versa...go ahead, see if you can find them!
It's sometimes surprising that one can find color on a bleak, grey winter day. I was happy there was still enough foliage on the oak trees to provide just a touch of red.
I was flattered that a professional painter chose this photo to use as a subject of one of her paintings visit: http://marilynfuerstenberg.blogspot.com/2008/01/daffodils-in-vase.html
The back alleys of Boston are perfect for black and white photography; the shadows and litter, all giving good value changes and making for an interesting eye-walk.
I find that I tend to notice more details in a puddle sometimes, than in the buildings above them. This happened again during a recent trip into Boston on a spring day following a typical New England shower.
I've been a painter my whole life.... I just didn't know it. Luckily, I've been using photography as an extension of a life-long desire to capture what I see, now I can do it in 2 mediums. I couldn't tell you which came first, the desire to paint or photography, but, does it really matter?
Please feel free to browse my other medium, primarly in watercolor, at www.paintedpaperbyholly.blogspot.com
