Photography is the first step of creating an image. Editing and converting a picture the second. Here I photographed the palm trees in Rahilly park in Merced. I walk in this park almost every day and usually I carry a camera with me. At home I work with my images. Here I converted my image into a watercolor painting. Enjoy!

In the late 1950’s and early 1960’s the german company Grünenthal Chemie marketed the use of thalidomide under the name contergan as a medication useful against morning sickness, sleeplessness and anxiety. It was also used as a sedative for pregnant women, although it was never tested on this particular group. The use of contergan led to numerous miscarriages and birth defects, in particular severe deformations of the limbs. The reason was an enantiomeric impurity, which was difficult to detect with the means of the time. There were 10,000 victims in 46 countries. It took a long time and numerous law suits to get at least financial compensation for the victims.
