Are you looking to buy a unique Christmas gift for friends or family? Consider my newly published art book: Life After Leaf.

In October 2021 I traveled to Yellowstone National Park twice for the purpose of shooting images of the trees. All the images in my book were shot along high altitude hiking trails

Over the years, I have developed Photoshop artistry techniques for digitally blending my images of trees with texture images of rocks, clouds, water and many other natural objects and vignettes that I captured this year. In total, my book draws upon my collection of more than 2,000 images of trees and textures. I use Photoshop to blend the tree and texture layers. I then use additional Photoshop tools such as adjustment layers, masking, gradients, blurring, and lighting techniques to wrestle these abstract images into final form. These techniques often involve considerable trial-and-error and the end product often consists of dozens of PS layers. While working on these images, they sometimes take on a life of their own.

Life After Leaf contains 72 photos taken at Yellowstone National Park along with more than 160 works of art featuring Yellowstone’s dead trees.  The price is $45 and shipping is free. I invite you to order your copy at my Digicrylics website.
