Hampstead Art House 1216 N Main Street *** Hampstead, MD 21074 ***Editors Note: The official address may be 1216 N Main Street but you need to turn South onto Main street from Mexico Road if you are coming from the Westminster area. Google Maps will take you North and you will wind up in an industrial area instead of down town Hampstead. Don’t ask me how I know this. On the other hand if you enter 1216 S Main Street into Google you will be just fine. The Gallery is across the street from St John’s United Methodist Church.

Black and White conversions

There are many ways a black and white image can be created in software. This one is so simple, elegant and powerful that I wish I’d thought of it. Works in Photoshop and Elements and probably any program with layers.

Here is a collection of images that tells a marine environmental story even, I think, without the narration.
