I'm with Sergey, very Rockwell-ian! Absolutely amazing, I love the vintage look, and wish you all the best with your efforts! I can't imagine all of the work that goes into creating one of these, but it all looks to be worth it.

Ahh....thanks guys for commenting today. Really lifted my spirits. Just nice to have my work lifted up by others ya know? Validation I guess, so many people tend to bash edited photography and I love, love, love editing my photography to become a "piece of art".
Wow, amazing work. I think one would be great as a large print on canvas. I could definitely see that on my wall opposite of my Picasso prints or Pallazzi's. Which one of these is going to be in the gallery showing?

I went over to your site and it requires me to submit an email address before being allowed to enter.
What's with that?? The last thing I will submit to is spam. Why do you require an email address?
Most legit websites require that you create an account or register....mine is no different. I just request an email address in order for you to enter my galleries. No big deal really.

Thanks for you comments on my photography/digital art. I am totally thinking canvas also as the best medium to showcase them.
None of the pictures I posted here ended up at the gallery showing. The gallery chose which pic I was allowed to show. It was a picture of the Vintage man walking with his briefcase down a historic looking street with old tires strewn about and I used different tones on it also. If you are interested in seeing it, I have it posted on my photography website.
My website does require that you login with your email address as do so many other legitimate website currently. So, don't let that scare you away.

I checked out your web site and loved your work. How did the gallery showing go? Any buyers, or was it not that type show?
Thanks mkweaver! I have spent the past several months working on a vintage girl series and have tons more to edit. I'll probably spend the winter months refining my portfolio.
As for the Art Gallery showing...I didn't place in any of the award categories. The judges went for a more traditional style of photography in my media, but I was thrilled just to show for the month. The artwork was for sale and I haven't heard from the gallery so I'm assuming no buyer. I go to pick it up next week. It was a good experience though and I'm planning on branching out to larger cities surrounding me this winter and see if I can show any pieces there. They tend to get more traffic, one being the state capital.

Wow! Very inspiring!! Can I come hang out with you for a day?
! I'm really not that interesting. Today I'm mowing/mulching up the last bit of leaves and cutting back periennials before snow hits.
Seriously, thanks for your comment!! I hang out in thrift stores and antiques shops just browsing...then something will hit me..prop wise and I just get a visual on it. All shots are planned from props to location to most poses. Then the editing begins....I love to edit and turn a photograph into a piece of art.
Still refining my portfolio and then need to learn how to market myself and sell some of these babies...

Love them all, especially the last one, sort of has a Wyeth look to it, Good luck with the show!
Thank you Susie for your kind comment!!
I just had another exhibit of my work this past Friday evening. Showing 9 pieces total in a gallery and it was well received. Exposure, exposure, exposure.
