             This effect was obtained while during exposure through a
             40 - 150mm lens the focal length was rapidly changed from
             short to long.

                         I have no idea what this is but it was outside
                         the passenger side window at 75 mph and
                         fairly close to us. I know this much because It          
                         was between frame #'s 13 and 15 on the roll
                         of film. TMax 100.

Old Man In Central Park, Decatur, IL

       
                  The most difficult thing for me when adding a figure,
                  such as this old man, is the shadows. Further, when
                  choosing something to add one must consider the
                  direction of the light falling upon the insert. It should
                  match the direction of light falling on other objects
                  in the photograph.

Raindrops On the Rear Window by Julia Mattingly-Horrigan

       
          This photograph, and the one below, represent a new direction in
          seeing for Ms Horrigan. It is discovery oriented and displays an
          elevated interest in common events that inevitably escape the
          regard of most people. Though both have been done spur of the
          moment, every element, of these two photographs, has been
          carefully considered in the post production presentation.

               Another lovely photograph from the lens of Julia. She certainly
               has beautiful settings in which to work. However, one can not
               count on beautiful settings unless one has the eye to include that
               which makes the photograph more than just a snapshot - as this
               one does.

           The only change was with hue and saturation which I took to extremes. The original image possessed an over all blueish/greenish cast. The windows were not flat, apparently not float glass, and were backed up by reflective draping of some sort.

Mr. Lincoln Talks With David N.Jones

On a warm afternoon in Springfield, IL my friends, wife and a stranger cornered
Mr. Lincoln and sat him down for a discussion of life in the mid 1800's. David N. Jones
of Oregon and Warren Council of California along with my wife, Alice, and a stranger
were intently taking in what the president had to say about past glory days. It was a very
interesting and enlightening conversation. As we all left the president continued to
meditate and ponder the situation.
