Two Pontiacs entered into the Spider Awards
The Black and White Spider Awards is the leading international award honoring black and white photography. This year I submitted two of my car images, both classic Pontiacs. Click on the thumbnails to get the full view. Photographing cars has always been one of my favorite things to do outside of actually driving them, and [...]
Manhattan from Brooklyn
Here is a new image I just finished, though I took the photo almost 2 years ago. Click on the image to blow it up.
DSLR.Bot and Venice HDR Images
n the on-going battle between Nikon and Canon owners as to which camera is better, one feature that I, a devoted Canon owner, have lamented is Nikon’s ability to bracket to 5 images as opposed to Canon’s 3, which becomes a real drawback when making High Dynamic Range (HDR) images. But now there is a [...]
Hong Kong apartment building
I almost got arrested taking this photo of an apartment complex in Hong Kong. Apparently the security police there don’t quite understand long exposure photography. This is part of series of images I have been making designed to be hung on ceilings.
Welcoming in a New Year
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light: The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. from In Memorium by Lord Alfred Tennyson It seems to be becoming a ritual for me to go out just before the New Year and make [...]
Monterey Auto Week and Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance
Monterey Auto Week has got to be one of the finest collections of rolling art on the planet and the pinnacle of the entire week is the Concours d’Elegance where 175 of the finest collector cars in the world roll onto the legendary 18th fairway at Pebble Beach. I was there this past week to [...]
Two Nights In Baton Rouge
I’m told it’s a four-hour drive from Shreveport to Baton Rouge, but my recent run-in with Louisiana Highway Patrol has me setting the cruise control to keep me traveling at a safely under-the-radar ramble through the forests and over the bayou’s of this lovely state, and it actually takes me slightly closer to five hours [...]
Shreveport, LA. Part One
Pre-production for the latest feature film I am working on has begun in and around Shreveport, LA, a city built on oil money which seems to be fairly wet, with lush green landscapes and some of the prettiest sunsets I have seen in awhile. Hopefully I will find an interesting point of view of this [...]
Harleys and HDR
This week I took a trip out to the Salton Sea to try and find a place I had been to 10 or 12 years ago, where the sea had encroached on a small town and partially gobbled up several of the buildings. I thought this would be a great place to make some more [...]
First shot at High Dynamic Range
Art Tool Bits. That is what it all comes down to: bits of color information. The more bits per pixel, the closer an image gets to the range we can see by eye. These days that number is 32, and generally requires several exposures from a digital camera to reach that depth. I remember the [...]
