Looking at one photograph at a time
Preparaing Caffine (from the series; Insomnia: Hotel Noir) Earlier today, I received the following comment and question from Georgete; I like your pictures a lot. Though I find landscape interesting, I miss the human element in your photos. Do you do it in purpose? If you do, why? This is a really big and I... Continue Reading →
Cross in Wildflowers (from the series: Bad Trip - Sad Trip) The creative side of being an artist is really great, exploring the potential of the medium and your inner thougths and then seeing the results on paper or what every you final output is. In comparison, file maintenance and making sure your documentation and back-ups are in... Continue Reading →
Three Bouquets on Freeway Overpass (from the series: Bad Trip - Sad Trip) Well, I just updated the image titles and rearranged some of the images on my web site for the series Bad Trip - Sad Trip.

The need for a style is one of... Continue Reading →
Bad Dreams (from the series: Bad Trip - Sad Trip) ...as I have always known, I do a little better with some motivation! My wife will probably agree (and maybe toooo quickly) that I do procrastate, push off something till a little later. Thus getting the tonality of the series Bad Trip - Sad Trip... Continue Reading →
At the Tollgate (form the Series: Bad Trip - Sad Trip) ...I think that I am going to be a big fan of the new Black&White Adjustment layer in CS3. I had been trying to tweak out the sky in this image with my previous workflow: using channels, choose the channel that gives me the... Continue Reading →
Silent Witness (form Series: Bad Trip - Sad Trip) ...We are celebrating the U.S. independence day this week, which officially occurs on this Wednesday, July 4th, but we sometimes make a week of it. Yeah! I have been waiting for this occassion to post a rather sobering image as a reminder for those who like to party perhaps... Continue Reading →
...yesterday afternoon we went to the Members reception at the Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA) for the mulitimedia installation by Coa Fei. She is a young cinama/director from the Bejing art community and her installation was interesting. Maybe even more for me as she is working on an industrial subject not much unlike what I was working on... Continue Reading →
