Hi there and thanks for dropping by!Well the festival season has concluded in the Valley of the Sun. The shows faced wind and rain at times, however a decent showing of folks came out and attended the shows and for those who came to visit me in my world, I thank you. My next showing in Arizona likely will not be until October. In the interim, I am busy preparing orders from the last show at the Tempe Festival of the Arts, and also other custom orders received by phone and/or through the website. I was able to show my first piece produced as dye-infused aluminum. I chose my marquee shot, 'Hope' as the test image and a resounding success it was. My very first showing of the finished piece resulted in a sale, followed by another order at the Tempe show. I am now working on a few other images to add to the choice of presentation pieces. For those who hadn't heard, these dye-infused aluminum pieces are a super saturated, and incredibly sharp presentation directly emblazoned into metal. The aluminum used is 100% recycled, and the finished piece, which comes ready for hanging, is scratch resistant and waterproof. Rapid age testing by an independent third party has this new process having twice the pigment life to traditional photographic prints, so the metal is truly archival. Look for metal offerings on the website for key images, soon. If you haven't checked out the NEW IMAGES for a while, be sure you do as I have a few new pieces posted on the site with more to follow.

Contact me as I do a lecture on cameras used in Space, as well as one on tips to improve your photography. Both are powerpoint presentations that last about 1-2 hours in length! Need a mentor for improving your photo skills? I have over 30 years experience in shooting with single lens reflex (SLR) cameras and my work has appeared in publications all over North America. I am an old school guy that learned from the ground up where the goal was to make the image perfect in the camera as opposed to taking average photos and 'fixing' them on the computer. If you want a better understanding of your camera's controls, and how to put the technical know how to work in making great images, then contact me. I provide one on one training that is customized to you. A 3
hour customized mentoring program is available for $299 Interested in taking a workshop? Are you interested in learning some new skills or honing some existing ones? How about learning about some great photo locations? Maybe what you need is a workshop! Well I'm considering putting together some workshops, but I'd like to get an idea of the interest out there first. Contact
me if you'd be interested, and I'll add you to my updates list |
