This is the kitchen window of Greens Restaurant. I have taken a shot of this window before but I really like this window. I decided to leave the lady on the cell phone in the image.

Yep, this is the same image as Monday’s shot. Need to go out and gather some new material.
Digital Gum Bichromate

I have started a year-long workshop with Ted Orland and David Bayles. Wow! I am very excited and little nervous to get started. We had our first meeting yesterday. I proposed my project as a portfolio of small intimate B&W landscapes from Sunol Regional Park. While at our meeting, I decided with gulp that I would do a book. Well, consider this image my leaping off point. I wanted to colorize my images ala Brian Taylor’s work with gum bichromate. After looking at how gum bichromate processing works, that is not for me. Way too fussy and hands on.
So, I set out to invent my own version using Photoshop and Corel Painter. This is my second piece (the first is not public). I started with charcoal sketches in Corel Painter. Those sketches were tinted with gold, green and blue. I then blended the tinted images in Photoshop using the Multiply blending mode. The Multiply blending mode simulates multiple exposures in camera. Then, I did tonal adjustments and color tweaks in Photoshop. The image was not working for me. So, I added solarized coloring.

Tonite, I went out to Maguire Creek Road. This road is very twisty, windy and narrow that runs along the edge for Sunol Regional Park. I started to hike up the hill but I was swarmed by flies.
