Twin Leaves

"Twin Leaves #3" Handmade Card by Steve Ausherman

Three handmade cards were created with a monotype printing process. I gathered these scrub oak leaves on a trail in the Pecos Wilderness while walking with my wife Denise. Fallen dry leaves, meadows full of blooming wildflowers, gathering storm clouds, butterflies and bees, Holy Ghost creek flowing clear and gentle, grouse in the grass, ferns hugging the stream edge, and lightning flashes in the distance filled our sense on this hike. Rain fell cool and gentle on the hike back to the car, filling the air with the smell of wet pine.

Steve Ausherman: "After the Rain"

Steve Ausherman: "After the Rain": "'After the Rain' New Orleans, Louisiana by Steve Ausherman 2008"

Sitting with a bunch of tired teenagers on park benches eating beignets outside a cafe on a rainy night in New Orleans. I have hot chocolate and these deep fried pastries rolling around in my belly. The night is dynamic with storm clouds passing through and the noises of the city around us. Taxi horns mix with the shadows of trees and the walkways glisten with fallen rain. I am snapping away in the darkness, trying to find the poetry of the place with images measured in slow shutter speeds and passing tourists. A juggler holds a position on the sidewalk performing. The March air breathes a hint of the summer humidity that lies just around the corner. Kids and cameras. Fatigue and city night.
