I’ve been working on revamping my gallery at Imagekind, where I first began selling my photography online 13 years ago. Specializing in wall art, Imagekind produces high quality decor at a competitive pricing structure. Please visit Travel.Imagekind.com to check out my new look.

Imagekind is an online marketplace for independent artists and photographers. Art buyers can discover new art prints and posters from tens of thousands of unique and independent artists from around the world at Imagekind.com, one of the world’s fastest-growing art sites. Offering nearly two million high-quality fine art images, customers can select unframed, framed and canvas wall art prints by color, style, or to match home décor.

From my point of view, Imagekind.com offers independent artists and photographers (like me) the opportunity to display and sell art online with no up-front fees, and the profit from each sale goes directly to the artist (me).

Imagekind’s gallery-quality giclee digital printing is recognized as best-in-class.  There are. literally, millions of combinations of artwork, frames, and paper types, and canvasses so you, the customer, can see why Imagekind.com is a one-of-a-kind art destination.

I currently have more than 600 different art photographs available at Imagekind. They are organized into a variety of collections (sub-galleries) to help you narrow your search. If I do not have exactly what you are looking for you can also search among those other thousands of artists to find the wall art of your dreams. Please be sure to visit my gallery at Imagekind.

Coastal Collection vs. Rolling Stone and Bill Swartwout Photography

Indian River Bridge graces the cover of Coastal Collection.

“…the thrill that’ll gitcha when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone.” (1972, Dr. Hook, written by Shel Silverstein)

My guitar playing will never get me on the cover of the Rolling Stone but my photography has gotten me close. One of my popular Indian River Inlet Bridge photographs is the front/back cover of the prestigious Ocean Atlantic Sotheby’s International Realty “Coastal Collection” magazine.Coastal Collection Magazine w Narrative

I am honored to have my photograph of one of my favorite places, the Indian River Inlet Bridge, grace the cover of this popular and sought after local magazine. Ocean Atlantic Sotheby’s International Realty is the premier real estate firm of coastal Delaware, from Lewes to Fenwick Island.

I do live here and I enjoy helping to promote my love of the area through my photography endeavors.  Hopefully, my images of this wonderful place will help others learn more about why we love living here.

Fabricated Unlikelihood Of A Sunflower In Love

Heart-Shaped Sunflower Manipulation

The other day I went out shortly after sunrise to catch two small fields of sunflowers with my camera. I did mange a couple of nice shots and one “interesting” image that I grabbed from an oblique angle. It might have been fine by itself but I imagined a reflected image creating something more. So I fired up Photoshop Elements and flipped the right side over the left and voila – had a heart-shaped sunflower. Had it been red instead of yellow I might have had the makings of a Valentine’s Card. While I don’t mind taking a different view I don’t want to mess with Mother Nature too much (like making a yellow flower into a red flower). 🙂

Sunflower HeartWhile it is somewhat heart-shaped it also has some other possibilities. I posted the image over at Fine Art America and asked for suggestions. Wow! I was both surprised and impressed with the variety of images seen within this sunflower. Some were rather remarkable and insightful – and gave me a new perspective on what I had created.
