Photographic panoramas and especially aerial panoramas are what I consider to be some of the more thought-invoking attention-retaining and compelling images that might be planned and executed for commercial or fine art applications. And the magic conjured is so much more involved than cropping a section of a wide-angle image to fit a format. Its literally adding together a series of 5 to 12 images. This is one way that the physics of light-traveling-in-a-straight-line might be harnessed and appreciated. View Panoramas Gallery

Within the category of scenic landscape photography it is fun to imagine and remember that all art borrows from its predecessors. This is a good and relevant history. Basics of composition, lighting, rules of thirds are happily and traditionally the tools available to photographers even to this day. When working on scenic landscapes there are a lot of other details involved- maps, travel, time, destinations, vehicles, provisions and gear and even more gear. Hear about it. Find it on the map, think about it, and get out there with some atmosphere and magic light – and don’t run out of film! View Scenics Gallery

Abstract and textures fine art photography is a technique and style and vision that gives voice to the wandering and unspoken – one thing today and another thing tomorrow. A timeless way to appreciate and enjoy modern digital image making in the traditional and the new way of seeing and experiencing the world around so close and at times so far removed.

Derivative photography includes affiliated images, attributed imagery and similars. In thoughtful proprietary hands images can multiply … can be very colorful … thematic … near complimentary … even monochromatic. Magically they evolve and become members of a family of images, part of a sequence or better yet part of an experience. Often times they are inspired by travel, hobbies, or fascinations. Similar, affiliated, congruent, thematic – to me its all part of my family of fine art photography images. View Derivatives Gallery

Manipulated print photography was the very first manner and method for me of creating magical fine art images. I remain motivated to this day by the images that I have made and that were illustrative and yet somehow photographic at the same time. I continue to seek out ways to innovate and combine the ethereal, textural with the realism of the photographic image. I like to combine the effects of illustration with photography.
