Featured Images
Photographs on this page have received some recognition in some sort of a show or competition or perhaps an online display. They may not necessarily be strict monochrome images as my photography is not limited to monochrome. For the most part they have been custom printed on archival paper, mounted and framed.
WITHERED PENNYWORT
At one time this pennywort was elegant and beautiful. Alas, time has marched on, and the pennywort has felt its ravages. Now it is withered and marcescent and just so much detritus in the pond.

ZEPHYR 9900
A black and white image with digital restyling to emulate a charcoal sketch. A bit of red on the identification plate and a touch of green on a marker light complete the effect.
"On May 26, 1934, a gleaming new train named for a Greek god of wind began a nonstop "Dawn to Dusk" speed run from Denver to Chicago. The Zephyr completed the trip in just over 13 hours, ushering in a new height of train travel and style."

MORNING GREBE
This is not a monochrome image, but rather polychrome with two tints added to the black and white.
The photo was taken in the early morning at a small nearby lake. The young bird was alone and quietly enjoying the calm, smooth water as the sun was beginning to rise. The scene was the very essence of tranquility.
