Not drawn

Black And White Photography, David, Photography

Every now and again I see a black and white photo that looks like it could have been drawn by some artist. Just simple lines on paper. When I got home and saw this shot on a large display I got the that feeling that it had been drawn by my camera. The magic ends when I tell you that it is the remains of an old dock in the local river taken early one foggy morning. So just imagine I painted it instead.

Mayflies

Black And White Photography, Laurie, Photography

May in Wisconsin is synonymous with a massive Mayfly emergence. They were EVERYWHERE! Folks ran from car to building, flapping arms and hands the whole way. When taking this photo, I was focused on the dock, and had no idea how many insects were in the image until I got home.
