“Luminous Tulip Blossoms” — digital photography using the ICM technique, then stacked and blended in Photoshop. (Ken Runkel)
“Quince in Blue Bottle” — oil on paper (Werner Liepolt)
“Windows in Women’s Slave Quarters in Mt. Vernon” (Wendy Levy)
“Wild Flowers” — original watercolor on left; computer colorizations on right (Steve Stein)
“Watching the Parade” (Lawrence Weisman)
“Remembering and Honoring Ancestors” — A room in a Peruvian home. Photographer Mike Hibbard says, “Skulls are decorated with flowers, coca leaves and candles. Observers of this tradition believe the skulls of the dead will protect the living, and bring them luck. Skulls are often adorned with sunglasses, flowers and cigarettes. Many believers bring precise wishes and hopes to the skulls.”
“Stairs” (Karen Weingarten)
Photographer Peter Barlow explains, “I like seeing a squirrel running along the tips of a picket fence or high up on a telephone wire, but this is a different view.”
