Over the last couple of Sundays I gathered a bunch of colorful autumn leaves and run them through the scanner. If you were in Morningside Park and saw someone stuffing leaves into the folds of the Sunday Times that was me. The first batch is on Flickr.
These yellow guys were from the second batch. The second batch didn't turn out as well as the first. There were some amazing leaves that I pressed into the pages of Webster's Third International Dictionary with The Complete Calvin and Hobbes on top for weight. By the time I got the scanner revved up on Tuesday night most of those leaves had turned brown.
My artistic abilities are limited so I have to let the leaves tell their own story. Christophe Niemann is much more talented and clever, as his amazing Bio-Diversity set of manipulated leaves attests.
Just discovered this site after finding your Audrey Munson site through research on Straus Park for an article I'm writing. Love your posts and photos. Thanks from a fellow walker in the city. (outwalkingthedog@wordpress.com)

Thanks! I love scanning the leaves. Soon there will be more on Flickr.
The sculpture in Straus Park is one of my favorites.
