My Creative Photography

Niagara & Beyond
By John Hartig

Photographing Things, is a great outlet, lots of fun and can be good "therapy". I like taking pictures of anything at all, and then applying digital effects to them. Even if you don't have the eye of a Da Vinci, it's still good to produce something of your own creation. It's good for the human soul, whether your skill is great or small. I've included things, objects, still life, antiques, stained glass, digitally altered scenery and my travel photography in this category. Maybe that's somewhat arbitrary because...well, I needed to put some of my hard-to-categorize creativity somewhere!

My Photo Cards

My Photo Cards are for sale for $2.00 apiece at the Beamsville and Vineland Public Libraries. Proceeds go to the local libraries. I began card-making several years ago after I found that I spent too much money for matting and framing pictures which I displayed in my exhibition...and then I ended up giving them away because we didn't have space for them in the house.

After all that expense, my wife and I decided that "going small" in card-making would satisfy my need to show my pictures off to the public and at the same time be less bulky and less costly. Many of the images on my cards are now altered digitally through Adobe Photoshop with pleasing results. But the wonders of electronics would be nothing, if it were not for having a decent picture to start with. If you're ever coming through Vineland or Beamsville, do stop in at the libraries!
