Wisteria

So this post was going to be about members of the Pea family – and the I realized I had enough photos of Wisteria to group them into a post. So here are some photos of the amazing Wisteria I photographed in Spring 2019 at Longwood Gardens and at Chanticleer Gardens

Spring in the Smokies

Spring in the Smokies

Like many other photographers, I haven’t been out photographing much this spring – something about the stay-at-home orders and a pandemic. So I’ve been going back through some of the thousands of unweeded unedited photos on my hard drive and finding some to edit and share. These were taken a few years ago in my favorite national park – the Great Smoky Mountains National Park

I’ve recently added a new palladium-toned kallitype – The Rabboni, Rock Creek Cemetery, Washington DC Toned Kallitype – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/the-rabboni-rock-creek-cemetery-washington-dc-palladium-toned-kallitype/

The Rabboni by Gutzman Borglum on the grave of Charles Ffloulke famiy in Rock Creek Cemetery in Washington, DC

This photograph is printed using the late 19th-century photographing printing process known as Kallityping. The emulsion is hand-painted onto the paper, exposed with a negative under bright lights, and toned with palladium. Each print from a negative is slightly different – so these are one of a kind images.

The photographs are printed on 8 X 10″ Bergger 100% Cotton Cot 320 paper. They are matted to 11 X 14″ in a white acid-free mat.

These one-of-a-kind kallitypes are available for $ 49.00

A Few Members of the Ranunculus Family

A Few Members of the Ranunculus Family

Ranunculuses are one of the families where every time I learn about a new member of the family I think WOW! Another ranunculus. I’m amazed at how many flowers I like belong to this family – and as I look at them – I can see some resemblances in their structures. Here are a few photos of member of the ranunculus family that I’ve edited recently.
