Looks Like Gustav Klimt

Experiment in Color Saturation.

This picture was taken in London in December and modified in Picasa. Once you start down the road of color modification, where do you stop? It's very tempting.

Portrait

Bird Watching

Window in Rome

After seeing this window in Rome "enough of Berlusconi", imagine my surprise when Berlusconi made his comeback.

Impressionism

Cigarettes

I think I thought this was yet another beer neon, but it's cigarettes, cigarettes pretending there is such a thing as a natural cigarette.

Art Object

She lives at the Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco and is very old.

Often Photographed Location

Ocean Beach in San Francisco with a view toward the cliff house. It's all in the light. This second one I like a lot.

Chagal Windows

No, really. These are two of the Zurich Chagal windows. I am posting them because you are no longer allowed to photograph them. Someone runs up to you and harasses you.

Fractels

Looks Like Paul Cézanne

Unknown landscape. To make this artistic assignment it was necessary to take out color.

Looks Like M. C. Escher

Looks Like Vincent van Gogh

Looks Like Claude Monet

I have a number of pictures of oriental gardens in Zurich, San Francisco and Portland.

Obstructed Views

At the De Young was a photography exhibit called Obstructed Views. Photography exhibits are always B&W, but nevertheless I thought, "Cool! I do lots of these" One of the more fun exhibits I've seen.

Things are in the way, like clouds.
