Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. ~Buddha

October 5, 2014 by owfotografik

Peace On Earth Peace in the shape of a gently curving bunch of flowers. Strong and tall in the purest of intentions. White and brilliant as it stands for what it believes in. On the way to the sky and into the heavens. All around us is the scent of the most beautiful day. Wafting its way into our hearts and bringing joy to anyone who inhales. Earth is a level of what we experience and on its way to […]

“Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains.” Diane Ackerman

Early Sunset on a Beaver Pond

May 19, 2013 by owfotografik

I love the soft blues of this evening light. I started with a digital photograph and used a HDR process to tone map the light. Then I applied a finishing oil paint layer to add texture to the overall image. I did some tonal work to even out the colors and make them realistic to what I was seeing in nature but not excessively. I am interested in photography as an “unusual” or “unique” image making process. In other words […]

May 18, 2013 by owfotografik

Blue Skies and a Blue Lake fit my mood today. I was parked up above Patterson Lake on my way to Sun Mountain Lodge when I saw this view. This photograph was taken in Winthrop Wa (Washington State), in the beautiful Methow Valley. The Methow is a small jewel of an area not too far from Seattle in the Pacific Northwest. Okanogan County is such a great place to live for all of the sunshine and outdoors recreation.
