A Calla Lily Becomes a Grand Design.

Remember.  A photograph is just the beginning.

We start here with photograph of one calla lily. Pristine and white. Beautiful. But what if it changed color? Here are four changes of apparel for our fair model. Fan them out, make them one. Add a vase & emblem (not shown) and it becomes a lovely theme for a very special luncheon.

Ah, but there this design lurked. Was the time for this pretty piece over? “No,” said I.  “Not forever.”

Let’s see what would happen if I made a copy of the finished design and folded the copy over itself? That was a beginning, but it needed to be blended with materials found in our digital darkroom. Suddenly this emerged. Oh, wow. I really like that. And used it for other purposes.

Back to that “Grand Design.” Well, okay, but this is way too symmetrical for what I want. A quick edit to grab a slice out the NE/SW quadrants (rotated 45 degrees) helped me out.

So, when you look at my Blog Letterhead, think of the pristine white Calla Lily and see how it can emerge into a very colorful world.
