These two features of the environment, whether separate or together, provide infinite variation and beauty.<br />
<br />
This blog post zeroes in on two aspects of water and sky which attract me greatly ... luminosity and color. Because water is often a reflective surface (not always if it is roiled), it can have great and highly varied luminosity and the luminosity is not the same across all its surface because it is not flat. <br />
<br />
Color and luminosity are also related, the saturation of the color becomes less as the surface becomes more luminous. Often a color goes to white in a highly reflective subject. Hues of water and sky are also interesting and vary greatly. As a hand-colorist of photos, I often make changes in the hues of water and sky to engender the feelings I had when taking the photo. <br />
<br />
Here are a few examples of my new water/sky photos. <br />

(Of course, I don't have to sweep up after them.) The Royal Poincianas are coming into full bloom just now all over the island of Key West and probably beyond (but I haven't been off "the rock" for awhile.) These are a variety of Key West photos I have taken over time which include this gorgeous flame tree. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.KeyWestPhotos.com</div>CJ Grothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06656693218072092645noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090426623771379885.post-13704804086254069762011-05-22T08:22:00.000-04:002011-05-22T08:22:00.651-04:00Thoughts on kindness<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">This post has nothing to do with photos, but everything to do with humanity. <br />
<br />
Very early this morning, while still in my nightgown, I heard voices outside. My view was somewhat blocked by foliage, but I could see a black guy on a moped talking to someone who appeared to be sitting on the sidewalk. My immediate thoughts: 1. Drug deal. 2. Drunk guy on sidewalk. 3. Moped or bicycle accident.<br />
<br />
Now, I'm not sure why the man was on the sidewalk. But I watched as the guy on the moped talked very sweetly and calmly to the man on the sidewalk. Then, he spent considerable time helping him get up and seeing him on his way. The moped guy was so kind and caring in his manner, so patient with the other man, it was beautiful and inspirational for me. Just wanted to say that.

The house in the background used to be somewhat derelict and now seems beautifully restored. This was an overcast day giving me nice even light with very few shadows, which is what I was looking for.<br />
<br />
I love how the yellow and red in the bicycle picks up the colors of the house and bougainvillea. If you want to see some more of my new photo pairings, go to my website at http://www.CJGroth.com and choose "CJ's Photo Pairings" section.<br />

I posted these four companion photos on Facebook and got some great response. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?id=1085197467&aid=2074478">Here is the link</a> to the whole portfolio on Facebook which I am calling "New Photo Pairings". These are the most recent images. This is my first time posting photos here, so forgive me if they don't sort out properly.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.KeyWestPhotos.com</div>CJ Grothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06656693218072092645noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090426623771379885.post-409198038720904632011-01-12T19:23:00.001-05:002011-01-12T19:27:23.765-05:00I'm having fun with new "photo pairings"For the past week or two I've been posting "photo pairs" on Facebook (look under Connie J. Groth). I've had a lot of fun working on them as I've given myself the freedom to just post anything that strikes my fancy. I think this link should take you right to the photo album: <a href="http://on.fb.me/dOqYIU">http://on.fb.me/dOqYIU</a><br />
<br />
If I ever figure out how to post photos here I'll do that. Don't forget my photos are available at Guild Hall Gallery, 614 Duval St. and online at <a href="http://www.cjgroth.com/">www.CJGroth.com</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://www.KeyWestPhotos.com</div>CJ Grothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06656693218072092645noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090426623771379885.post-85423406882508049482010-12-01T06:50:00.000-05:002010-12-01T06:50:20.472-05:00New website went "live" last night<b>Ahhhh, it's not perfect but it's up. <i></i></b> (Hmmmmm, I guess we can say that about a lot of good things, eh?)<br />

My photos were housed on a site called Photoworkshop.com, and the entire site -- with probably thousands of photographers' portfolios -- just disappeared. I do not know the story, I just know that I don't know.<br /><br />I was hoping it would come back up, but the Photoworkshop people informed us last week that the portfolios are lost forever. Consequently, I've been putting together some of my Key West and Florida Keys images on <span style="font-style:italic;">liveBooks</span>, another photo site. I will be adding to it as time goes on, but I wanted to get something up and running so you knew I still existed, sigh. Here is a link to the site which will soon be named <a href="http://www.KeyWestPhotos.com">www.KeyWestPhotos.com</a>.<br /><br />I hope soon you will be able to order online, but until then please call or email myself or Guild Hall Gallery. My email is CJ@KeyWestPhotos.com. <br /><br />Thanks for your calls and emails about the missing site. You are all sincerely appreciated.
