Alternate Reality in Mendocino, California




I recently took a week-long trip to visit friends and shoot photos in and around Mendocino.  I was trying to relearn how to shoot video with my Nikon camera.  Even with a tripod, the footage is shaky.  Once home, I combined the Nikon footage with Google Pixel cell phone footage and added other elements using Adobe Premiere Pro.  Then I added a soundtrack with some of my late mother's recorded music, syncing it up to the footage in Cubase 11.  It's frustrating.  A million files are opened and saved all over the computer taking hours to figure out what has gone where and why.  And all I ended up with is this short tidbit.  But, I kind of like it!

Albion Pic and the Google Nik Collection

While editing over 300 photos shot on my latest trip up to Mendocino, I discovered the newly free Google Nik Collection.  This image of the forest in Albion was edited in Lightroom CC then layered with a B&W copy created using the Nik Collection's Silver Efex Pro.  Great fun!  I could spend all day doing this.

Old Friends

Attempting to take the "old" out of the photo, with considerable manipulation, doesn't impact reality. Kathleen Price and I are not only old(ish) but we have been friends for a long time.  Original photo taken by Ron and Bettina Vinsant in Mendocino.

Girl at the Window

Latest large oil painting - 36"x36" on stretched canvas.  Mendocino ocean, Greek windows, and a very altered Amber portrait.  I got creative with the shadow.
