I have opened a new Still Life gallery at my Online Photo Gallery. While my interest has centered on photographing people in recent years, I have a number of pictures that can best be described as still life images.
The photo in this post, Table Plane Study, is one such example. I was particularly struck by the way the several mirrors in the image portrayed the table top. That scene presents a study in planes, which I captured upon strolling into an antique shop in Washington, D.C. over 20 years ago.

Going through a box of old work prints, I came across this image which I call Spirit of a Boy. In this instance, I made a number of exposures of my young son, backlit as he stood before a window in a camp facility in upstate New York. I wasn’t sure about the metering of the light. While my subject is extremely underexposed in this picture, the resulting image makes for quite a striking photograph.

In a recent visit to Baltimore’s Fells Point, I captured this image, which I call Prisoner of Life. Prisoner of life resides in the Street Photography portfolio at my online photo gallery, www.wmgphoto.com

Message in a Bottle is an artwork derived from my photograph, Alpha and Omega, which photograph is reproduced below.
Like with Alpha and Omega, I have created physical works of art derived from other photographic images in the Focus on Religion gallery at www.wmgphoto.com. Schism II is based upon the photograph, Schism, which I have written about on this website in the article entitled Expanding the Frame.
Also discussed in that article is Welcome to Nirvana, a physical work of art comprised of the photograph of the same name enclosed in a wall sized Japanese Torii gate handcrafted out of weathered oak.
