PHOTOGRAPHY: still life: swedish ivy with tablet, 1984

The desicating leaf is one of my favorite objects to photograph. This piece of Swedish ivy lost its green and transformed to a fragile pink and pale yellow. As I tend to do with still life, I juxtaposed the delicate organic with a bold piece of geometry. Click on each 2 inch image to get to a 5 inch image. Satisfying as these unmanipulated images are, I went ahead and transformed them with Adobe Photoshop® digital filters in 2001 and you may see those versions right this way: with gradients: gallery 009 | with paint daubs + spotlight: gallery 010 | with poster edges: gallery 011 ©1984-2001 Jane Marie Cleveland
