Playing with Illustrator

I was curious to see the matrix created when two sets of growing/shrinking boxes were superimposed.  Regarding color, I stuck to the light spectrum and kept it consistent transitioning from one set of boxes to the other.

The black-and-white version yielded some interesting results, too.

Above all else, this was a study on color and contrast.

As we were heading home from Riverside on the 91 West, I saw how beautiful the hills and sunset looked just before we entered the LA basin.  I took a mental snap-shot to later recreate the scene from memory.  Here is the end result.

Looking out?

Out and About

Waterfall in Eaton Canyon.  Pasadena, California.

I like this picture but the only think I regret is not including someone or something for the purpose of scale.  This waterfall is about 50 feet tall.

Looking downstream.  Big Santa Anita Canyon, Angel's National Forest, California.

Hobson's Choice in the Haight.  San Francisco, California.

This isn't a good picture--it's double exposed, in fact--but there's something eerie about the outcome that I like.
