    Re: Large Format Landscapes

    One more from the Pika Lake excursion. I found a shoreline rock that mirrored the alpenglow-lit peak in the distance and front-tilted to nail the focus on both.

    Thanks, Graham. I didn't know his work but it's mind-bending, surreal stuff. I was also born in Detroit (yet another mirror!), so is life imitating art?

    Re: November 2013 portraits

    A very interesting color on this one, Bracan. I wonder if the palette has shifted over time or if this is normal for 809. This model, by the way, looks to me like an edgy version of Novak Djokovic.

    Thank-you, Stone. I'm still undecided. I think it either needs less or more swirliness. I might go back and try adding in some swing to isolate things horizontally.
