Before And After

The long winter was not kind to our real pumpkins from last October, left outside to endure the elements they are now reduced to fragile, paper-like shells. The pumpkins had their moment in the spotlight and now serve as an interesting study of texture, decay and the passage of time….

Ok, that was way too deep and pretentious, the fact is I think the textures are way cool and seeing that I’m easily amused I opted to post these pictures.

Enjoy.

Inspiration: Swamp

Swamps are facinating...dense, filled with life but at the same time ominous and filled with death. These photos were taken at The Chippewa Nature Center in Midland, MI during a summer hike.

The photos strike a chord with me, the colors, the textures, the light...something evil is lurking beneath those waters.

Enjoy.
