To make snow look white in a photograph, it must be overexposed by at least a stop or two. Snow exposed as suggested by your light meter will look dirty and grey. (Jan 8, 2009)
I've added 5 new photographs to galleries 3, 5 and 6, and to the 'More Photos' section. The new work is from this past summer - abstract images from a recent trip to Greece and photographs from ahiking trip during the summer. The new photographs explore the idea of surfaces as whole objects, and the void photography creates between 2 and 3 dimensions. (Dec 16, 2008)
I just finished a complete rewrite of my first Basics of Photography tutorial, adding interactive illustrations to help clarify some concepts. I also updated some older film photography references to make the tutorial more relevant to modern digital photography. Enjoy! (Nov 30, 2008)
I've just finished adding new photographs to galleries 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. The work is all new, from the last 6 months or so. Much is from a photography trip into rural and small-town California. I'm very happy with the work I did at some informal junkyards in California and Calgary, as well as my first attempts at black and white portraiture and nude photography! (Jun 10, 2008)
Nine more photographs have been added to galleries 2, 3 and 4 and to the 'More Photos' section. The new work begins to explore urban areas in earnest: I have been finding thought-provoking, abstract subjects in the city, including some burnt abandoned houses. There is more rural work from the last 6 months as well. Photographs from a recent photography trip to California will be posted soon! (Feb 10, 2008)
