Robert Johnson was truly the grandfather of blues. Inspiring such musicians as Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters and the Rolling Stones. His music has deeply affected my love for blues and music in general. My portrait of Robert is a small tribute to the amazing body of work he produced. Through every layer of pencil and every stroke of my hand, I tried to capture the essence of Mr. Johnson onto paper. I depicted every detail in my portrait, from the old curtain hung behind him to the design on the blanket he sits on. Each pinstripe was painstakingly reproduced as well as the weathering on his guitar. My desired end result is that you will feel like you are looking at an aged photo of Robert Johnson. I believe when you truly study this piece you will hear his music and see the richness of his character portrayed in through my pencils.

I loved the colour and texture of this old suitcase that I spotted in Bo’Ness Railway station in Scotland. Bo’Ness is a small town on the banks of the River Forth which is home to a very well preserved steam railway. The old station has been extremely well preserved as an early 20th century train station. This photograph won 1st prize in Stirling and District Camera Club’s Annual Print competition for 2008.

When seen from a distance, Grandfather Mountain on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina (mid November) looks like an elderly man with a long beard lying on a pillow and facing the sky. / The scene below, “Other Side of Grandfather”, was taken a few minutes later and only about two miles away. / The scene below it, “Blue Ridge Palette”, was taken in this same area less than a month earlier. / /

This small town barber shop has been in existence for almost sixty years; my father, 84 years young, is still at the helm, taking care of his clientele who prefer Daddy’s skills (and conversation) to the modern day, slick salons and spas. Here’s the old pro giving a trim to his great-grandson who was in town for the holidays. Visiting Daddy’s barbershop is like a step back in time; it may not be full of fancy products or have fashionable decor, but it’s got character and the old gents who congregate there have interesting stories to tell and rich, abundant lives to share. I feel much more at home there than in the sleek salons.

Born into one of New Orleans’ oldest and most venerable families, Eugenia Planchette was no ordinary Southern belle. No matter how many governesses informed her that methodically dissecting crawdaddies and baby alligators was NOT ladylike behavior, little Eugenia would not be deterred. Despite her indelicate hobbies, Eugenia grew up to be an uncommonly fetching young lady, so if she was a trifle vain, who could blame her? She was certainly at no loss for suitors when she took up her studies at Tulane (medical school, of course), and her grades seemed impervious to her habit of dancing the nights away in the French Quarters’ most notorious nightclubs. Perhaps it was at one of these that she inadvertently insulted a voodoo priestess or just irked one of her more chemistry-minded classmates, but someone spiked her absinthe with something that caused an inexorable descent into madness. As far as the good doctors could tell, she became convinced that the best way to preserve her youthful appearance would be to remove her face and keep it in the icebox, only to be used when she really “needed” it, and apparently that is exactly what she did. Although the results would have made her a useful instructable for an anatomy class and certainly a pertinent case study in psychiatry, her surgical adventure, needless to say, ended her medical career. What Eugenia lacked in practicality she made up for in execution, however, and in truth the Face (as it came to be called) held up quite well. Eugenia and her removable face are pictured here in her parlor while her astonished cat, Poutine, looks on. This original artwork and story are copyright Ramona Szczerba 2008.

Just for grins, here is the very first original Blue Man, before he had any personality, but he did have a rocking street rod, those wheels all turn 90 degrees and become steerable thrusters so he can do a verticle takeoff, even close that bubble top and fly out of the atmosphere to his craft. You’ve come a long way, oh shiny one!!

This photograph of my grandparents and friends was in my aunt’s photo album that my cousin let me scan for posterity. My grandparents are the two people just to the right of the fellow in the center. I love this photograph because of the wonderful composition and reflections. I took the color out of two texture layers and put them on top of the black and white photograph. / Featured in “TONE IT DOWN”!

Grandfather Time by Dave Hampton – Nenana, Alaska / / this photo was mysteriously deleted from my account on Red Bubble. So all of the comments and features were lost. So please re comment if you like this photo. / It was around -40 below when I took this photo. It was such a beautiful night for the aurora!! When I developed this photo and made a print one of my friends noticed what appeared to be a face that looked like grandfather time in the bottom left corner. It still gives me chills every time I see it. / / “It’s not what you look at, but what you see” -Henry David Thoreau

I love photographing my Father. There’s a lot of character to be captured in someone who’s lived for 70 years. / We all went to a local airshow today, & Dad I were drawn to the classic & vintage cars that were on display. / This one’s a ‘48 Ford Prefect. / Two classics full of character…. [Canon1000D, Tamron 18-200 @ 38mm, own textures added] Featured – Dimensions group – October 2009 Featured – Canon DSLR – October 2009 Featured – Rustic – October 2009 /

My Grandfather and Great-Grandfather, with a clock that they both owned. I have it now… / They had what could be called a “strained” relationship. My Great-Grandfather left his family of 9 children to research the possibility of making fuel from sugar cane (in “French Guyana”) for the British government. I have all of the letters he sent home. Four photoimages, edited in Photoshop Elements 3.
