This is Dave Schumaker on Christmas Eve, 2010, at the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Yesterday morning we had coffee. This morning, his wife called to let me know that Dave died in his sleep last night.

Glass Menagerie Macro
A rose from my front yard this morning. Focus stacked 16 images from my new macro setup. While playing with textures, I turned the rose blue. Which made me think of the play The Glass Menagerie because of the misinterpretation of pleurosis.
As always, or most of the time, click on the image for a larger view.
Elk Trail at Dry Lagoon

Elkhead Impenetrable Forest
After a long slog through the impenetrable forest, the way to our destination had been washed out. Two of our party were infirm. We had to turn back.

Apple Blossoms
Translucent blossoms from a Waltana apple tree. This is not how they appear in nature. It’s how I think of them.
Medici Fountain ala Deep Dream
After not paying attention to Google’s Deep Dream AI program for two years, I’m back playing with it. The gold accents are what comes from DD. The dimensionality comes from a bump map. Fun stuff!
