I should apologize for the infrequency of my posts lately. I've been spending quite a bit of time at deviantArt building a gallery there. It's been a slow process; I have quite a lot of material to show, but I've been building the gallery gradually to build interest. It's been going very well.

It had recently occured to me that I've never set up a traditional still life, so today I tried one using produce and a tankard I found around the house. It was a project I did purely for the fun of it. My aim was to achieve a painterly look.

- Ω -The background and the bottom surface of the still life are textured art papers I found this weekend ( Read more... )

This evening, I would like to share with you the result of one of my first ever photographic experiments in a studio-like setting. Last night, I broke out one of my quartz halogen studio hot lights and tried various shots of a small stormtrooper figure and this dragon statuette given to me a couple of years ago. I was intrigued by the details and ( Read more... )

This evening, I would like to share with you one of my first shots of 2006 and one I am rather proud of. While on our way back from shopping, my girlfriend and I came upon this scene on a farm along the way. I simply couldn't pass up the opportunity for a shot with this kind of potential, so I pulled over and took a series of shots over the course ( Read more... )

Today, I would like to share with you something rather abstract, but wholly appropriate given the day. This is an experimental shot I made of our family's christmas tree. I would like to wish everyone the happiest of holidays and my own personal thanks for your interest in my photography and digital art.

- Ω -This shot was made by zooming the ( Read more... )

This evening, I would like to share with you an image from one of the most peaceful days I've enjoyed this year: a man and his son simply enjoying the breaking waves at Sohier Park in York Beach, Maine.

- Ω -This shot stayed in my archives for awhile before I saw some potential. The water in the background was overexposed, but still within the ( Read more... )

This was a broken swing shot at Stair Falls. I really like the contrast between the wood, the metal and the softened greenery in this scene. Thanks to sxe_yeti_sxe for his editing suggestions.

- Ω -This one needed quite a bit of work. In the original, the background was so textured that it became the subject of the photo. I softenend the background with lens ( Read more... )

This evening I would like to share with you an image from a Yankee Swap we hosted this past weekend. I would almost classify this image as a snapshot. It was taken very spontaneously, but there was some preplanning done on my part to get this composition the way I wanted. This scene was a humorous exchange between my sister and her boyfriend that ( Read more... )

Today, I would like to share with you an image from the 2004 Rochester Fair, which is one of many country fairs that take place in New Hampshire every autumn. This fellow was playing his accordion at one of the several enterances to the fairgrounds. He was so enveloped in his own music, it made for a very natural shot.

- Ω-I sharpened the textures ( Read more... )

This evening, I would like to share with you an image from the city where I live. I live in a fairly typical New Hampshire town: typically New England weather, humid summers and very cold winters, a mix of new and old architecture... all things that make New England a beautiful and sometimes unforgiving place to live. This scene demonstrates the ( Read more... )
