I truly have become a texture junkie. I love photography and capturing images with my camera, but I think I love the creative process with the photos afterward even more. This shot was taken at the Missouri River an hour or so after sunrise this past Saturday. This tree precariously hangs off the bank of the river, and the color of the bark is unbelievably white. The light of the morning really doesn’t show it off at all.

I wanted to give the sense of how special this tree was in its surroundings. It took a bit of experimenting, but I finally came up with a texture combination that I felt did just that.
The recipe…
