Colorado - New hand painted black and white photos, using only home-made q-tips.

"Clock Tower"

"Columbine"

"Mountain View"

"Colorado Wind"

"Teepee"

"Colorado Grasslands"

"New Snow"

" Iron Horse"

 After shooting a nice image I get a black and white print made. Using q-tips, that are made from tooth picks and cotton, I paint certain parts of the photo. Sometimes just a small part of the image and other times the whole thing. I became a colorist while working for the Rocky Mount News, it gave me a break from news photography. My work is sold at the Evergreen Gallery, with a limited edition of 100 on each piece.  All paintings can be seen by clicking on "Ken Papaleo" located at the top right of this post.

Colorado - Humor In Photography - Flash Back.

 Humorous photos are hard to find and easy to get away. The best thing to increase your chances is having a camera with you and be ready to shoot. By this I mean have everything in auto mode, point and shoot. The humorous moment does not last long!

Note - It's been three weeks sense my rotator-cuff operation. I will continue to run flashback photos until I'm given the ok to pick up a camera again.
