Photographer’s Indulgence – Creative or Crazy
Cousin Jane visited us in Gallatin this past weekend. She had been at an art show in La Cross recently and was introduced to Jamie Heiden a photographer who uses lots of textures to enhance her photography. Jane suggested I should add the technique to my work.. With Frankie in Phoenix I’ve had time to play. First collecting textures from around the property mainly old doors and the dilapidated house next door. Here’s some of the results
Our classic morning sunrise on old barn wood
Pond Pump
Our new Classic Chair and Potato plant
Dick’s 82nd birthday
Jerry’s Iowa Farm
Gallatin Court House on the 4th
Frankie pulling so hard on the Galena Blacksmith shop door the building is stretching.
Grant’s little cheery house in Galena
Galena Graveyard
Chillicothe Building Art
I love this guy.. Horse Power
Amish Horses
Red and the Blue Herein
Cowboy nosing around as usual
Don and Carol’s bikes in Gallatin
Maybe this is my problem – fogged over

You’re better looking than your picture. I liked a lot of the pictures. Thought the 82nd birthday portrait was so good.

PS I liked the photos as it looked like you were having some fun with it. I like your photos “straight up” the best.

Great Photos Lowell… Do you use photoshop for those? I think it could be fun to do some of that to sea life pictures, hmmmm enjoyed seeing a new idea thanks!!

Carol, Yes photoshop is how I’m merging textures and images.. I’ve played with this in the past inspired by artist friend Johnny Kleber. Seeing Jamie’s work got the juices flowing again. I think my favorite in this group is Frankie and the Blacksmith shop.. It’s Big Fun. 😯
