 Feature photography is one of my most favorite things to shoot. It's basically a, real, found situation that holds the viewers attention. When I worked for a newspaper I would go out and drive around, just looking for anything that caught my eye. Parks are good for this! Many times nice features are found at all kind of events. The key here is to be ready to shot! Just like most other types of photojournalism, the opportunity doesn't last long.

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.
