After the recent Tangerine Gallery show I'm revisitng the 1:1 aspect ratio, which I'm surprised how much I'm liking.  Here are a couple of photos re-edited:

Portrait, Aging

 Don't ask me how I got this effect! Started with iPhone, used a couple of apps, took it into PhotoShop, and had fun.

Human Portrait of Aging

 Well, due to the time of year and available subjects, I was about the oldest person around, so I decided to do an iphone self-portrait as to how I feel about aging. Since the alternative to not aging is dying, I decided to 'lean in' to the concept, and take a deep breath as I move forward in time, while at the same time, "eyes wide open" of what my older years bring. The botanical textures remind us there is a time for blooming, yet all things follow the circle of life.
