Description
The outer wall of a Butternut (White Walnut) wood bowl takes shape on my lathe, lit only by my work light to show the undulating pattern and the tool and sanding marks. The small holes are naturally occurring worm holes that are common with butternut wood. Color and contrast enhancement was the only processing required. Thank you to Ron, my friend who gave me the beautiful butternut blank. If it finishes well, I may post another photograph of the final product.

Gary Holmes, photographer: I have always loved to photograph nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. Although I have staged single and group portraits and still life photographs, I prefer the challenge of trying to capture the unpredictable spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring. I started with a Kodak Brownie as a child, but entered the world of real photography with a Canon AE-1 in the late 1970's. I have continued to develop my compositional and post-processing skills and have slowly acquired higher quality equipment that is now capable of putting those skills to their best use. I finally became confident enough to begin posting my work online in September 2012, and have successfully sold a number of my photographs on Fine Art America.
