Looking at one photograph at a time
I am now working on the color tonality of the series Insomnia: Hotel Noir.

While working on a series, I have also found myself being drawn to a particular image or photographing process and getting diverted from the subject at hand.

Cross and two Butterflies, Nevada (from the series Bad Trip - Sad Trip) Having used CS3 for the last month and half, I now recoginize that I have changed my digital workflow to create my Black and White images. When I made this photograph (Cross and two Butterflies) last year with my Canon XTi, Phototshop... Continue Reading →
Cross and Tree, Napa (from the series Bad Trip - Sad Trip) I have not progressed to the point on my series Bad Trip - Sad Trip that I need to be thinking about the organization of the images, first on my web site and subsequently how would I arrange the images for an exhibit or in a...
