January Street Scene

Buildings often look better in infrared, than they would in color. This is one of the beautiful edifices near downtown Palo Alto.

Oh, those recurrent sheep

More from that farm in Plumas County. I think sheep will be easier to draw than horses, if I ever start my sketchbook.

Is this what they call Carpenter's Gothic? I have to look up these styles again. The beloved History Park, source of great subjects for infrared.

I like the ones like this that only have a little clue (white leaves in foreground) that they even belong in this blog. The lady in the hat was an extra benefit--I had to shoot fast!

Waiting for customers in January sun

I Wish I had more time to work with these empty white chairs and these reflections on a Palo Alto sidewalk. Reflections are often clearer than you expected in infrared images.

This is a Photomerge of five photos, uncropped. Naturally, when something turns out OK, you scream to yourself: Why didn't I take MORE! MORE! MORE!

This made me feel like one of those street photographers!

Bored and waiting outside a store, I saw her, she looked so ripe and healthy. I felt almost like Weegee. I think the infrared gives this kind of grab shot a soft quality.

I am becoming quite fond of these infrared photos when I give them a warmer tone. I still don't understand how people get all the colors, but I like these, anyway,

This truck is now a docent at San Jose History Park. See how infrared photography brings out his subtle hard-won patina!
