La Danse Insolite/Strange Dance

leslee — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 16:52:49 +0000

Here is something a bit different to start out a New Year.
This is a tryptich of 3 images, taken along a randonee path
that I have walked regularly for years. Somehow, the strange
beauty of these trees has previously eluded me. I never noticed
them until this past spring, 2009. They immediately reminded
me of dancers, bending and twisting in improbable contortions.
I decided to see how they would look together, so here they are.

The configuration on the paper for these 3 images together
is horizontal and they look really sensational large!

Dated Eggs in an Antique Coffee Bowl

leslee — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 20:38:23 +0000

This is one of my very favorite photos. Somehow it got dropped a while ago from the roster,
so I am reposting it.

There is a good story behind this, as with most of the photos. My neighbors Natalie and Fabrice have a fairly self-sufficient garden. I bring them American seed types to plant and then they in turn give me fresh eggs, lettuce, etc.

One day Fabrice came by with some lovely little brown eggs. They each had a number on them, the date that they were laid. As I am a sucker for typography, I loved the French school cursive numbers he wrote. I could not stand to eat them!

A week or so went by and I thought to myself, I had to eat these eggs! I went for a walk with Slaine and got the idea to shoot a remembrance of them when I got home.

I put them in the little antique cafe au lait bowl I had, took them out to the terrace and the antique cement top table and photographed them under the dappled light of the walnut tree.

It does not get any more romantic than this!

This photo looks fabulous at a large scale. I have sold several this way. It is dense and rich
and not as harsh as it looks on the computer screen. Remember, these are all printed on water color paper. I have sold several through designers and have this very print hanging in my kitchen in France.

I remember this day well. We drove for an hour, dropped the car in Marquay, and headed out on a randonee to Tamnies, where our reward after 9kms or so, was a 3 course fixed price lunch… I am salivating thinking about the fresh salad to begin and the walnut icecream soufflee to end.

At the point this was taken, we were a touch lost. Molly ran ahead to ask about the route, I tried to keep Slaine and Fanny away from the moutons and other dogs at the house where we stopped to inquire. Fatigue was setting in, we were a touch late, close to 12:30 with our reservaiton at 1. Molly apologized for moving the troops along. But in the end, we were lusciously rewarded with a fabulous calorie deserved lunch. I have this lovely image to remember one of many wonderful and enchanting experiences hiking in my beloved Dordogne. Offered to you here, as armchair travel, from the snowy Berkshires.

FYI-The calendar is just about sold out, so if you plan to order, do so now. Less than 20 remain.

Berkshire Barns in Mist

leslee — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 21:40:39 +0000

I am very lucky to be able to divide my time between 2 extraordinary places. From time to time, I will stay on this side of the pond visually and give you a flavor of the Berkshires. Here is the first of several from recent Fall 2009 shoots. I hope you enjoy this tranquil spot as well as the landscape of the Dordogne River Valley.

DO NOTE: Any and all giclees ordered before December 15th will
receive an 8×10 photo as a gift from me, Merci!!

A rich and different location in the Perigord. Have you been there?
This is one of France’s most cherished locations, here looking a bit
insolite- strange!
