Marching on.....

Caught this view out of the van window early this morning.  Thought I would share it, as clear skies in Michigan are becoming more plentiful with the approaching spring.  The sunrise in the east was equally stunning as the moon setting in the west, but I chose to spend my time on the moon this morning as it was full and the light was pretty decent.

Looking forward to meeting all of you at the Walldorff in Hastings this Saturday!  (4pm-8pm)

Updated Information on the Walldorff Exhibit: Meet The Artist Evening

After doing much battle with the weather this winter, it seems that a date has finally been able to be scheduled for me to head down to the Walldorff!  I invite you to come down and view the works, ask questions, and enjoy the Walldorff's food and drink.  They have some of the best food in southern Michigan, and great craft beers as well!

When:  Saturday, March 22nd from 4pm -8pm  (or longer if you wish!)
Where:  The Walldorff Brewpub and Bistro, Hastings, MI

Hope to see you there!!


BTW:
The above photo is exactly as titled...shadows on the fridge in my kitchen.  It was really nice to see the sun for a couple days this week for a change!

New Release

This is a never-before-seen image which I released especially for my current exhibit at the Walldorff.  I am really enjoying flower photos right now, as they provide a visual respite from the bitterly cold weather we are having. 

The exhibit runs until April 10, so make sure you get down there to see it!  (Did I mention that the Walldorff has excellent food and craft beer?) 

EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT

The Thornapple Arts Council of Barry County, MI is presenting a three-month gallery exhibition of 12 selected Jonderson photographs at the Walldorff Brewpub and Bistro in Hastings, MI!

The exhibition runs from January 7 through April 10, and the works can be viewed during regular Walldorff business hours.

The selection of works are varied, and contain some old favorites as well as a number of images no one has ever seen before, so you won't want to miss it! 

I will be posting specific dates and times that I will be there later on, so keep checking back!

In like a lion

No, no lion photos this month.  :)  I have them, but that is not what I meant by the post title.  No, it is rather a reference to the weather.  There is an old saying about winter here in Michigan:  "In like a lion, out like a lamb."

Well it certainly has come in like a lion this year, and as a remedy for the early winter snow and chill, I thought I would post a fiery red orchid to take off a bit of the chill.

There, that's better!  :)

Now that you are all comfy and cozy, I want to encourage you to stop back by the blog here in a week or so (definitely before Christmas) for a couple exciting announcements!  The final details are still being arranged, so I am not going to tell you quite yet, but some very big things are afoot at Jonderson Photography these days! 

In the meantime, keep warm!

Side note

The BBC chose my flamingo photo (see below) to run on their website last week, in the "Your Pictures" Section. 

The theme was "Resting".  You can see the whole gallery in a new window here.

Digital Effects

I am not a huge fan of digital effects, and try to stick to basic old-fashioned darkroom effects with my images, but sometimes I get an image which just screams for a little digital manipulation.  This photo is one of them.  The lines in the photo are very simple waves, and the "ghosting" effect just adds another layer to the dreamlike quality those flowing lines impart.

Happy November!
Jonderson
