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!
I love this time of year, even before the trees have turned their full colors. I took this photo as I drove home from school, loving the clean reflections and clear fall skies.
Last spring I went on the Freedom trail in Boston for the first time, as was taken to a very old cemetery along the way. Needless to say, while the headstones and names were historical and old, I found a great photo above, in the reflection of an old building covered with ivy.
Not being from a city myself, I really find any visit into Boston (or pretty much any other city, for that matter) and huge treat. I happened to catch the greenway at night where the southeast expressway used to be. I can't get over how quiet it is now downtown.
Well, I certainly paint shadows enough, and that's probably because I've taken photos of them too....they're always an amazing shade of ANYTHING but grey!
I had to take a large series of photos to be able to capture this great cloud which changed shape and color so rapidly. What a beautiful morning on Wells beach (Summer 2007).
Being from Maine, I can never tire of a typical Maine view such as a red fishing shack on the coast. THis photo was taken last winter on the way out to Land's End (the real one) on Bailey's Island.
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
