A watercolor like effect, pure abstraction.

Ocean Beach - Symphony on Yellow and Blue

Horizontal bands of color, a converted beach scene ala iphone, reminds me of a Rothko-esque fantasy world.

I used tadaa app, then applied tilt shift effect. Selective blurring places the focus and emphasis on the face, creating a very introspective feel.

Horses in Hamptons

Taken with Tadaa app on iphone, then converted to Charleston sepia tones. A western setting in sepia monochromes creates a vintage look. An extreme close up is a true portrait. One can sense the horse's personality.

The red hues in the sky and sea create an ominous post apocalyptic landscape.

Lobsterman at the Pines Hotel

An environmental portrait. Placing a portrait in contextual surroundings adds interest and plot narrative.

Fashion Show at Invasion of the Pines

Repetitive forms with sunglasses is good. Reminds me of a famous photograph from the fifties of people in a 3D movie.

At the Invasion of the Pines, 2012. An annual tradition, drag queens from nearby Cherry Grove on Fire Island arrive by the ferry and walk down the red carpet. The event began after a group of cross dressers were turned away at a lady's night event at the Pines, with the blunt dismissal that they were not real girls. In protest, a small band staged an invasion by water the following year. Every year the invasion has grown till now, when about 500 queens arrived together.
