This macabre thing caught my eye at Rockaway Beach. I thought it was a dead animal at first. This gloomy image matched my mood at that moment. I am in mourning for our recently departed bird Dinka and slip into melancholy easily.

Lamp in Washington Square edited to create the mood I wanted.
I had this dark processing in mind when I photographed this tree in the snow. The third of these three processing methods is an inverted image that makes it look a little like an infrared image.
Method: In Photoshop I cloned out the windows, added a starburst protecting the darks, added a vignette, converted it to B&W, and added a blur and masking out the center. In the third one I inverted the image as well.

I made these digital art images for Halloween in October 2000. They are composits of Stonehenge, a butterfly and a black cat. I used to have a black cat named Sooty when I was a little girl. I love Stonehenge and the ancient history of Britain, and the mythoogy of pre-christian celts and druids. An enjoyable historic novel is Sarum: A Novel of England by Edward Rutherford.
I had a dream that golden toads where raining down in a golden forest back in 2001. After the dream I learned that Golden Toads had becoem extinct in Costa Rica in 1989. These composite images representing my dream are old and not very skillfully done but they tell the story.
The common name of the Toad Lily (Tricyrtis formosana) is spooky. I created the web effects and dramatic lighting in Photoshop.
