Denny Jump
The old Dogwood tree seems right at home in this Church graveyard. Both the church and the graveyard date back to the 1600's, which, by American standards, is very old. I liked how the dogwood blossoms reflected the light. This image was captured exactly in the middle of the day! Not the best time but t was my only opportunity to grab the shot.
To grab this look, I used my Singh Ray Hi-Lux filter stacked with my Singh Ray Tony Sweet Pro-Mist filter. The Tony Sweet filter is what provides this dreamy look...it is fun to experiment with
In two days, I will feature this same image but in B&W - let me know what you think of the two of them if you wish.

We advance from a creative passion "- (Edgar Morin)
- "To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at
that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."

::Words from Denny:
- My beliefs, and values, have always been strongly tied-to music, especially Jazz, and Blues.
- The following artists and lyrics seem to "sum-up" where my spirit resides:
EARTH WIND AND FIRE;
"HOLD ON TO YOUR SPIRIT,
ALWAYS FEEL YOUR SOUL....
HONOR THE MAGIC IN YOUR HEART"; Earth Wind and Fire
