Study of the White House

I came across these image's, while I was clean up the studio the other day, that I had taken of this cool white house.... I can't remember where it was taken, but maybe it will come to me someday. I scanned them into photoshop and played a bit. I cropped them to a square format and sized them to  4x4 inches.  I love the sculptured mushroom trees, the fence and gates a gingerbreadie kind of house.

 

I wonder who the gardener is?

Playing with Food

Playing with some food images last night. We had cupcakes at Tapanga's birthday celebration.

A little Photoshop tweaking for a fun, bright image.

I've been working on isolating objects on a white background. Made a batch of ginger cookies and photographed them on white then gave them a little artsy flair.

On our last visit to Bandon, on the Oregon coast, we stopped at a pie shop in Bandon's old town. Had berry pie ala mode... Oh so good.  

Added a painterly effect to the pie and I think it turned out yummy. I'm also working on a series of food images from yummy desserts to fresh fruit and veggies from the garden. Looking at all this food is making me hungry!
