The abrupt loss of my computer a few years ago, combined with a poor system for keeping photographs, means that many of my best pictures from the past years were lost to me. But of course everything I have ever done is recorded on here, on clerkmanifesto, so they weren't totally lost. They were just a bit hard to find.
The other problem with resurrecting some of my old, mostly nature related, but not entirely nature related, photography, is that the pictures pulled from clerkmanifesto are compressed, poorer versions of the originals, which is something that happens automatically in the posting of them here. But fortunately, in some experimenting with a recent round of macro photos of flowers, I stumbled upon an intriguing method of bringing my old photos to new life. You have already seen some of this with my old flower photos.
And so, over the past couple of weeks, I have been remastering many of my old photographs, or at least the ones suitable to this system. These pictures are not just upscaling, that is, higher resolution versions of the original downgraded photos. They are also reimaginings of the original image. While every image in this series would be a recognizable version of its source photo, some travel farther than others from where they began.
Over the next several days I will be showing these pictures grouped according to general common subject matters. Today I am going to show you what each subject is going to be while giving you a sample picture from that subject.
I hope you enjoy them.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
