About the photographer & current exhibits

 

We realize how busy everyone is these days and we just want to pass along our gratitude for your time.

My first camera was a crappy little “spy camera” from the back of a comic book. It was worth every bit of the $2.99 plus shipping. It used these odd little paper-backed rolls of film that were about 5/8 inch wide. Imagine a really, really small, even cheaper Lomo. I started “getting serious” about photography in high school. After not being selected as yearbook photographer, I over-compensated. I learned as much as I could, shot as many pictures as I could, and entered four images in the high school art show. I took home five prizes. I minored in Photography and Cinema in college and more or less picked away at photography as a hobby ever since, sometimes more seriously than others.

The technology available to photographers seems like a bit of a mixed blessing to some. Myself, I’m in awe of “vibration reduction” lenses, scanning technology, and Adobe Photoshop. I’ve wanted to be able to somehow print from slides since I was a kid; now I can make works of art using the “digital darkroom” and do so without using a bunch of chemicals. I still rely on slides and film exclusively for my input. The laws of physics and chemistry seem more consistent than hard drives. I figure I’ll always have a copy. I like slides. It’s a great time to be a photographer.

It just seems that that most things in life are best enjoyed when they’re simple and unadorned. There’s lots of beauty in the world around us. It’s just a matter of seeing it in the right light. It’s a joy to produce something someone might consider worthy of their living room. Please feel free to contact us with questions or feedback.

I’m not really a big internet or computer guy; I’m a photographer. Here is my formal catalog. I have a bunch of other images here. We can produce pretty much any image there “to order” in whatever size you prefer.

Please remember that prices are based on matted size. In other words, an “11x14” is a photo approximately 8”x10” matted to fit a standard 11”x14” frame.; a “16”x20” is an 11”x14” photo matted to fit a standard 16”x20” frame, and so forth.

Everything is printed on Epson professional inks and papers. For some technical reason, Epson can’t use the word “archival.” However, if you look at Epson’s estimates, these prints should last for generations with reasonable care (avoid sunlight, excessive moisture, etc.). We use only archival (acid-free) matting materials. Mats are double mats, unless otherwise specified.

We use and prefer PayPal.

Thanks for looking!
