Beautiful Rust and my new Sony RX1RII

I was almost giddy when I saw this car last night. The sun was just setting and the rust looked just incredible. What a blessing to find such beauty tucked away in a lush green grove! These photos were taken with my new Sony RX1RII. This little camera is a small,...

COLOR, COLOR, COLOR...and dramatic black and white! It is all about manipulating hues and luminance. This course is part shooting and part editing. Link in bio!

Painterly Anonymity is all about removing those things that make a scene personal...removing street signs, house numbers, personal objects, etc. The place can then take on a universally relatable position. I love creating this way. Check out my bio links for a class on creative iPad editing featuring this image! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As autumn slipped into winter SUPER fast this year, I found myself caught off guard. It was probably good that I was taking a social break. I needed the time to regroup, reconnect with family, and figure out how I wanted to spend the photography side of life over the long winter. Deep in my heart I knew I needed to jump back into painterly editing. It isn't about wanting it to LOOK like a painting as much as it is about hiding the reality of photographic details. You see, I want to share my life and surroundings in a guarded way. I want to share pretty light and shapes that draw me in, but not in so much detail as to impinge on the privacy of others. Painterly styles let me remove street signs, license plates, and structural details that are too personal. I can share lighted cozy windows without revealing the location. I can share the ESSENCE of a place...like a blink or a dream. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

So, please join me on a journey of light and mystery this winter as I share my daily life, small town spaces, night scenes and thoughts in many painterly styles. :) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
