Entree #1

I have always been attracted to the ocean. These pictures of the beach are in HDR format which creates beautiful highlights and colors throughout each photo.

Sandy Skoglund

Sandy Skoglund's Germs Are Everywhere was one of my favorites simply because of the color. I love green and how she made everything in the room the same color except for the plant in the foreground.

Jan Groover

The fork and reflection of leaves in the knife is an odd yet interesting combination for the photo. This irony is what drew me to the piece.

Edward Weston

This photo by Edward Weston is simple yet beautiful. The way the nude woman crosses her legs and arms creates curved lines throughout the photo and makes for an interesting image.

Irvin Penn

Irvin Penn successfully merged fashion photography with fine art. I love this photo of the classy woman in a black dress. The simple background and posture makes for a beautiful piece of art.

Olivia Parker

This photo, entitled Orchid, was one of my favorites. I love the delicate and feminine feel the photo gives to the onlooker.

This photo, Pods of Chance, is another one of Parker's photos that I love.  The subject matter and its arrangement makes for a unique picture.

HDR Photography

I have recently become very interested with HDR photography. This particular photo was taken at Morro Bay, California by Howard Ignatius. This artist has an amazing collection of digital art, fractal art and cosmic HDR photography. I was originally attracted to this piece simply because of the colors. I love sunsets and the HDR version of this photo makes the sky look amazing.
