Easter, Clarksville TN
Just a documentary shot.The date is wrong.
It was indeed some years ago but not the 80s;
I'd guess around spring of 2000.
It was in the middle south;
Clarksville is just a guess.
I will never understand Easter.

Pinata Store, Mission TX
Straight out of the camera, no tweaks this time. In particular, the colors are not exaggerated; this is the best the Sony could do.Much of the town of Mission TX, almost 100% Mexican and mostly Spanish-speaking, is very brightly painted.
L'Oratoire en Hiver, Montreal QC
A rare view of St. Joseph's from a neighboring 8 story building.Of course, the view includes a hockey game. I believe the low-slung copper roof building in the foreground is a former monastery now used as a college of some sort, but I'm not sure.

Click the pictures for the full effect.
I take landscape photos that seem to me revealing of something or other.
Often I try to make them look sort of like oil paintings or watercolors.
So far the only tool I have used besides a camera is iPhoto.
So far I have avoided any retouching or other spot effects.
I often turn "noise reduction" way up to deliberately remove small details.
So far they are all taken in North America.
They usually come out sort of hyperrealistic, but sometimes impressionistic.
Sometimes they come out lousy, but I won't post those.
