The galleries below contain photos on a few diverse topics. The first one, Still Lifes, contains images of everyday objects. Some were photographed close-up or from unusual angles, so it might be difficult to tell what they are. If you can't figure out what something is, please email me and I'll see if I can remember.
The Digital Art gallery has images that began as photos, but have been modified using varioius techniques. I've observed that people usually love these or hate these.
Three other galleries, Ice, Foiled, and Oil and Water, illustrate what happens when photographers get bored. These creative excursions caused my wife to question my sanity. I can't blame her, since it probably looked strange to witness this bizarre behavior.
Ice involved hot water, open flames, and food coloring in addition to the primary ingredient. I lit the subjects using various methods, and used different background colors to reflect onto the ice. I melted the ice a little at a time using the flame and hot water. There are currently a few chunks of ice in our freezer, so I may shoot more of these some day soon.
Foiled started out with a single large sheet of aluminum foil that I crumpled and smoothed to create varying textures. I also molded the foil around other objects to enhance the texture, added lighting and colored reflections, and also digitally manipulated some of the photos.
Oil and Water took place at our kitchen table and involved a small white bowl containing oil, water, and food coloring. As I added the food coloring, I mixed it around and snapped away.
Unlike most of the other photos on the website, I didn't have a real clear idea what these images would look like. They simply evolved and I documented their evolution. I hope you find them interesting.
