During a visit to San Diego, I began collecting eucalyptus leaves, knowing I could do some interesting things with them, and here’s one example. (Eucalyptus is native to Australia, and they do particularly well in the San Diego area.)

I used hand-painted papers as my background and then placed a single leaf on top. I especially like the mottled texture of the leaf.

Note: This same image is available with the leaf in a horizontal format — same leaf, just rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise. Couldn’t decide which one I liked better!

I'm a photographer, writer, educator based on Whidbey Island in the Pacific Northwest, specializing in photomontage work, combining photos I've taken of rust, walls, peeling paint, birds, postage stamps, trees, etc. into images that are completely new, different, and often weird. I also create physical collages, then find myself photographing parts of them to include in my photomontages. It's crazy, but it's fun! My career has encompassed writing guidebooks (primarily about where to photograph in California), newsletters (guides for photographers about where to photograph in the United States), leading photo workshops, and conducting online classes.
