About six weeks ago, I started to explore ways to combine my #photography into other mediums. I believe the quickest way to learn a new craft is to just do it and do a lot of it. I decided that #monoprinting would be the way to proceed. I`d print, throw it in trash. Print, throw it the trash. I learned a few things after printing about 200 (that`s a guess) of the them. If I use an analogy of a child learning to walk, I think I may have taken my first step. I`ll use these prints as a baseline to see where I end up.
These prints are multi-layer, single pull, gel plate #monoprints .

I posted yesterday a photo of a couple of great horned owls behind dense vegetation of the big mesquite tree in our Tucson backyard. I speculated that they may have been pairing up. However, that afternoon I caught a glimpse of a huge bird fly past our kitchen window. I thought the pair may have left the tree but upon inspection I found they were still there. Mmmm? Then this one moved to a another branch and gave me a clear view. Now I believe there were actually three owls, an adult pair and this juvenile. The wildlife encounters in this town and the photography opportunities they offer are one reason I love living where I do.

Intrusion - Abstract Photography
Here, a small portion of the real world is isolated with the intent of creating an image that transcends the original subject. Color, line, form, and texture, are the visual elements at play here, allowing the viewer to interpret.

The Red Window
Window metaphors have been used to evoke emotion in visual art including cinema. Isolation, loneliness, mystery, secrecy, solitude, . . . ?

Found this cute little guy snoozin` under an 8 inch terracotta pot. I felt bad interrupting his nap. I`m sure he was a recent hatch. About 9 inches long. Head about 3/8 inch in length.
