Looking for Landscapes in Rusty Metal

While I’m shooting I may see a hint of a landscape or cloud I plan to use later, but mostly I just shoot what looks interesting and know I will have ‘discovery’ later as I get them into the computer and see what I have. I do not change the color of an image, I just bring up the saturation and contrast and that usually reveals gorgeous color combinations and textures that I would never think of creating on my own. It’s magical and I feel a bit of alchemy as I transform an image of scrapyard castoffs to a thing of beauty that resonates with harmony and balance. I print my images on a large format 44” pigment printer. I then mount the archival images to custom made box mounts created from birch and pine wood. I texture the surface of the print with clear acrylic gel medium to give the impression of brush strokes. Many are surprised to learn my finished pieces are not paintings but rather digital images!
