Beautiful gallery! I love the rich colour. I see some of these were shot with D70, were some of the others film shots? Many appear to have that vibrant lush tonal quality of Velvia. V

Nancy Landis Neal		11-May-2006 14:07
I am a lifelong Iowan living in South Florida. Your spectacular photographs capture "home" for me. Thank you for sharing your creativity so beautifully!

Ron Horloff		03-May-2006 21:29

A gorgeous gallery indeed! No wonder it has turned up in the Most Popular

Geust		21-Jan-2006 02:18
Iowa is so unusual that it's capable of something heretofore thought impossible in physics: it sucks and blows simultaneously.

Guest		19-Jan-2006 20:17
Catchy title to this gallery., and the images are wonderful - beautiful colors, spectacular reflections. Well done! Voted.

Guest		27-Dec-2005 18:41
You don't have to travel to far away places or visit the national parks for great light. As you have demonstrated, it is right in your own backyard. Thank you for this great gallery of light. You have earned my vote and admiration. Happy New Year!

A great gallery. Very nice compositions with great colors, atmospheric mood. I did't Know that Iowa was so nice. My vote for the gallery. Congratulations fore the excellent work.

sherwood frazier		27-Oct-2005 01:01
When one says Iowa, spectacular does not immediatly come to mind. However after viewing these shots Rochelle it may be the new adjective to use. You have done Iowa a great justice.

Tomasz Dziubinski - Photography		26-Oct-2005 16:50
Great gallery Rochelle, my compliments :)

Nicholas Baumgartner		26-Oct-2005 08:28

beautiful gallery

Rochelle Weiss		11-Dec-2004 01:14
Thank you, Yogi.

Yogi		01-Dec-2004 03:34
Actually, it's ethanol, not gas. Rochelle, I apologize that your comments have taken a turn to the sarcastic. You do lovely work.

Geust		27-Nov-2004 04:33
Iowa gives me gas.

Guest		27-Nov-2004 00:36
You know what they say... The best thing to come out of IOWA is an empty bus! At least it IS BETTER than OHIO.

Terry in CA		23-Nov-2004 20:13
Yogi, leave Len alone, he's probably off his medication. Hey, why aren't you at work? Yes, yes, it is Heaven!

Yogi		23-Nov-2004 19:39
Len is an idiot. Yes, Len. Empty, like your head and your imagination.

Len		23-Nov-2004 17:40
Heaven is so empty? Just endless landscape of weeds and trees?

Piotr Siejka		23-Nov-2004 08:34
Lovely gallery. Great light, colour...everything. Vote!

Rochelle Weiss		22-Nov-2004 16:35
Thanks, April, and others who have stopped by, for taking a look at the Iowa Gallery!

Guest		20-Nov-2004 03:20
Oh My! I never knew that Iowa could be so beautiful. Very nice.

Eldar Kadymov		13-Nov-2004 17:09
If it's not heaven, you , sure , made it so with your majestic pictures !

Rochelle Weiss		13-Nov-2004 14:00
Thank you for your message, Gary. Iowa is a beautiful state, a hidden treasure really, one that I appreciate so much more after having moved away and then moved back.

Gary Hebert		10-Nov-2004 04:11
Then Iowa is Heaven! What a beautiful gallery Rochelle. Everyone should rush to Iowa... Regards.

Rochelle Weiss		06-Nov-2004 16:11
Thank you, Kristen! I am glad that you enjoyed them. I have just started selling within the last two weeks, actually. Fiery Morning on Cottonwood Pond, Magic Morning, Blue Morning, and the Golden Tree are all limited edition prints as are a few others that have not yet migrated to this gallery yet. If there is a print you are interested in, you may e-mail me at rcardin27@earthlink.net or view some of them at Absolute Art Gallery in Des Moines, IA.

Kristen		06-Nov-2004 00:55
Beautiful photographs! Do you sell? Kristen

Guest		03-Oct-2004 18:19
great gallery you have her

Rochelle Weiss		02-Oct-2004 00:43
If you need any help with that, let me know :) So, Iowa's not your thing, OK. Might I suggest my Alaska or Florida galleries. They might be more appealing until the meds kick in. You'd probably prefer Ohio, but I just haven't been there yet.

Guest		30-Sep-2004 20:59
Heaven? Iowa? I'd rather be stuffed, fully conscious, into a wood chipper than spend another minute in Iowa.

Selvin Chance		27-Sep-2004 02:13
Superb. Your pictures make even a winter in Iowa look great. Cheers from the tropics. Aloha

Rochelle Weiss		28-Aug-2004 16:40
Thank you, Duane! When you are familiar with a place and all its moods, I think you really learn about it. By the way, I loved your pictures and your comedic eye for the unusual!

Guest		28-Aug-2004 16:20
I really enjoyed these shots, lots of color saturation makes me happy! thanks for sharing, great work on all of your galleries!!

Guest		24-Aug-2004 02:03
