Mt. Moran from Oxbow Bend

I recently returned from a kayaking trip with the Rocky Mountain Sea Kayak Club to the Tetons.

We paddled Jackson Lake, Jenny Lake, String and Leigh Lakes.  But, my favorite was paddling the Snake River.  This is an ink drawing of Mt. Moran from Oxbow Bend. 

I finally did some quick pastel sketches of Nature's Educators raptors.  All on paper, 16x20.

iPhoneography Panorama Roxborough Park

While hiking Roxborough State Park I took some panorama shots with my iPhone using Auto Stitch.  This photo was 10 shots stitched together.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.   I took a photo of a painting I did of a skull and a Listerine bottle. (Oil on canvas 9x12), then used my iPhone photo app "Image Blender" to add the scary face into the photo.  Fun!

iphoneography Photo Class

I attended an iphoneography class with instructor James Clarke at the Arts Students League of Denver.  iPhone apps were downloaded to my phone for the class, i.e. Hipstamatic, Camera+, PhotoStudio, ScratchCam, AutoStitch, Snapseed.  For these photos I used AutoStitch and took a sequence of photos which were then stitched together by the App to make one panorama.  More to come later using the other Apps. Union Station, Cherry Creek State Park, and Chatfield State Park.
