I started taking pictures seriously when my parents got a Kodak Hawkeye Instamatic camera in the ’60s. It was a cheaper version that you got by saving cigar bands. I remember using it at the New York World’s Fair and a school trip to Washington DC.
In college, I took a photography course that included developing and printing black and white photos. Unfortunately, I realized then that my colorblindness, only partial but still there, was not going to make it easy for me to print color photos in the traditional manner.
Digital photography changed everything. Not only could I process my own photos, I could apply artistic effects. Using Photoshop and various plugins like Buzz Pro I could create pseudo watercolors, oil paintings and some artistic effects you couldn’t even do using traditional media.
This site displays the result of my efforts. I hope you enjoy viewing them.
Two of my artistic interests are photography and art. Now, I find that I can combine these interests by creating artistic creations from photos. I created this site to display my photos and photo art.
I use several programs and Photoshop plug-ins to manipulate the photos. Some of the artwork here was created for a group on Yahoo called DigitalNuts. A new set of photos is posted to their Weekly Nutcracker each Wednesday and the members post their artwork created from those photos. I've learned a lot from that group and highly recommend it if you are interested in creating art from photos.
I hope you enjoy viewing my work.
