Cicada Aeternam
Uploaded: July 16, 2016 | Entered: July 16, 2016 14:35:38
One of the defining sounds of summer for me here in the eastern U.S., is produced by perhaps my favorite insect, the periodical cicada. While every summer features at least some cicadas, the huge Great Eastern Brood X emerges en mass only every 17 years; I have great memories of the 2004 and 1987 broods. To satisfy me until 2021 then, a wonderful silver cicada, fully articulated with moving wings, jointed legs and body, about twice life size. Darkroom edits include b/w conversion, heavy vignetting, a faint green cast applied.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
