I worked as a commercial photographer. Every once in a while I would get a arty streak. The tree branches were shot at the end of my driveway while taking out the garbage cans one night. I shoved the basic B&W photo to the blue. The Locust seed pods were shot in the studio were I worked. There was a locust tree in front of our building. That's the actual photo, not retouched. The pods were shot on the brownish paper with a light wand, with a long exposure in a dark room. It was with an old view camera. My original is a 4X5 color Polaroid.
