“FRESH BAKED COOKIES WITH MILK” – © 2013
Color photograph. One afternoon late in January, I had baked a batch orange-flavored chocolate chip cookies. As usual, I left them on the countertop to cool. Later, before I went to put them in a storage container, I decided to take a few pictures of of them. This is one of the better shots I got.
“WINTER DREAM” – Jackson, Michigan – © 2013
Color photograph* of a shrub in the front yard of a house, which I modified with a polar-inversion distort. I like the way this distortion gave the effect of what almost looks like two snow-globes in the center of the picture. *(Yes, the photo is in color, but it was a black-and-white sort of January morning.)
