Wing of a Butterfly

Wing of a Butterfly is a rendering of a photo of a butterfly. This butterfly had a mid-century modern art pattern on its wings. The really butterfly had a sharp contrast of black and white. Originally, the butterfly was purchased at the Little Italy Art Walk event in San Diego from a woman who preserved butterflies and placed them in acrylic frames. At first, it seemed like a possibly cruel process, however, this particular butterfly was so incredibly bold and beautiful it could not be overlooked. Sadly, after a long move, the encased butterfly is hopefully in the possession of someone who appreciates it just as much. Here is a little piece of this beautiful being.

"Before the After"

“Before the After” is a black & white photo taken with a Nikon film camera on the streets of Little Italy in San Diego. One of my favorite things to do while living in San Diego was to wander aimlessly and take pictures of interesting compositions that caught my eye. San Diego is home to endless beautiful scapes, yet this haphazard and juxtaposed metal and concrete got me.
