Not a whole lot of conversation today, folks. This post is the
bounty of painstaking research and Photoshop mastery that had me digging for recent
images that lend themselves to the vaunted spot color treatment. Spot
color, as I have detailed in previous posts, gave my sleepy photographic career
a kick in the pants just about two years ago. I delivered a print of Adobe at
Ranchos Plaza to Rob Nightingale at his Wilder Nightingale Galley in Taos with
the words. “I think this might sell.” He posted it to Facebook that very December
afternoon and sold two 30” x 30” inch prints by noon the next day. And the race
was on.

Two goals set me on the road to creating more spot color
photographs. First, I want to ride the spot color wave for a bit longer as in forever
and, two, I’m seeking a subject for my January-February article in Shadow and Light
magazine. More spot color is on my short list which also includes adobe and
snow, vignettes about intriguing people, and Battery Godfrey, World War Two
battlements protecting the entry to San Francisco Bay. Other pretenders may
join the fray.

WOW! I loved “Line of Sight, Lama NM” as a black and white but this takes it to an even better level.
You already know I am a sucker for your selectively colored, black and white prints, and the ones you included here are great examples of why. The Reflected Sky, Old Martina's is a masterpiece, with the off-centered turquoise window, as is the North Facing Fechin Studio shot. Line of Sight Lama does take the black and white to a new level, as Anonymous said. These images definitely have my vote for your next Shadow and Light Magazine entry! Thanks for featuring them in today's blog. And congratulations on your sales of the Adobe at Ranchos Plaza!
