Books (series) Dana Buckley, photographer/writer B. Martin Pedersen, art director/creative director Graphis Inc., design firm Images from the book Fifty, Water Lily 1; Craspeolia; Mophead; Lily of the Valley; Sunflower. "The photographer presents sensual and unique floral imagery through a series of spectacular floral prints. A sense of intimacy is achieved in the photographs by the author's use of close-up photography. This technique creates a slightly abstract quality, revealing each flower's simple beauty. The flowers are profiled in a way that brings a sense of romance and depth to each image.

This series of floral imagery is displayed in platinum process, giving each image striking depth ."

Self-Promotion Christopher O' Meally, photographer " The image Diesel is personal work from a long term series that incorporates roadside environments throughout the southwest and the man -altered landscape . This image was used in the most recent 2005 Workbook 27 .

The soc io-pol itical ironies of this location were overwhelming . The seemingly archa ic sign takes upon the hopefulness that fossil fuels will someday be obsolete . One has to ponder how future generations would view this location wondering what is diesel? I took the time to light the sign w ith my battery-powered lighting equipment and further darkened the sky w ith a graduated sepia-toned filter."
