Saint Louis in March

March 12, 2006:
Between storms I made another visit to the Missouri Botanical Gardens (Shaw's Gardens) in the City of St.Louis.
Afterwards I went by the St.Louis Art Museum in Forest Park.
Camera: a recently restored Sears/Ricoh KS-1 body, aperture priority exposure system.
Lenses used: Pentax SMC-M f:1.7 / 50mm, and Vivitar f:2.8 / 28mm.
Film: Konica Minolta VX 200 print film.

I want to buy prints of two of these photos but I cant find your Paypal buton.
Do you sell your photos? You should consider it - these are good enough for sale.
I want to buy 01coins and 11pillars02. You can do 16x20 cant you?

Beautiful photography.

Excellent! You have the eye of an artist...but then you are one aren't you.
Beautiful work and it's done the old fashioned way...with film. My favorite
is "Pillars 2" Lovely scene, it would make a wonderful 16x20 matted and
framed. FILM FOREVER!

Fascinating subject matter, the sturgeon are wild. You and the renovated equipment are performing quite well!

Thank you, Jaye. The glass piece at the Botanical Gardens was installed this winter, and is the work of internationally renowned artist Dale Chihuly. Another of his well-known installations graces the lobby area of Bellagio in Las Vegas. Ed

The composition of 'palm, stems and glassclose' show the life and drama of each. In particular the glassclose lets me share the feeling the artist was presenting with the scuplture and is refreshing. The angle of 'saintlouis' with the slate sky nearly worked but the details are quite lost in the shadows. On the other hand, if even futher darkened into shadows it would stand in stark contrast and therefor set another mood.
Thank you for sharing these fine pictures.
