Thanks Kristi, I have fun doing them, and when I'm done they don't go to waste.

3/29/2005 10:44:01 AM

Paul, your pear images are delightful! Would you share how you get this effect? I know it's Rembrandt styling and lighting, but are you using a filter or software to achieve this?

I love all of these pear photo paintings Paul! It's funny, that now I know I know you I even like your work more :-)

10/22/2005 7:18:31 PM

Thanks Jill, coming from you that is a real compliment! I envy your background, it must of been fun having a family that shared a passion. I was looking at your website and it's just crazy. I couldn't figure the "password" it isn't the word I thought?

10/22/2005 8:28:05 PM

I'm not surprised this won something - the whole pear series is delightful. So standard "Rembrandt" lighting on these? Window? Do explain - love to know!

10/27/2005 7:49:26 PM

Thanks Christopher. I used a single strobe in a softbox. Had a light on a piece of brown wrapping paper (the background) and set it up in the kitchen.

10/27/2005 7:55:24 PM

How wonderful to have this in my mail box again!! Love seeing it again !!

10/27/2005 8:11:57 PM

Really like the pear series - and this is my favorite ... excellent tension and dynamics!

Really enjoyed your gallery - seems we share a love for macro/stills. A true pleasure to learn from someone else's style and perspective - thank you for sharing your images.

Regards,
Paul

11/2/2005 3:26:59 PM

Congratulations on this winner, better late than never I always say. This is a fantastic image. I was trying to photograph pears just the other day - nothing like yours though. I will post when I get one that I think is good enough.

P.S. What an absolutely fabulous gallery you have.
