Portraits : Portraits Creating portraits of people is my favorite aspect of photography. Some people feel that a photograph takes something away from them, but I believe a good portrait actually gives back to the subject by shining a new light into his or her dark spaces. Rene Magritte said that "Everything that is visible hides something that is invisible." Unlike writers, photographers are permanently bound to the visible world. The task is to draw the invisible emotion out until it manifests in a visible, personal form. You can click on the thumbnail to select the image, then click on the main image to see a larger view.

The Miracle Worker Cast Photos : The Miracle Worker Cast The cast photos from Mt. Blue High School's spring 2009 production of The Miracle Worker. For these photos, I mixed two photographic eras: the sepia tone of the late 19th Century (when the Helen Keller story took place) and the semi-desaturated tone of the 1950s (when William Gibson wrote the play).

HDR : HDR High Dynamic Range (HDR) images are a new frontier in photography. Normal photographs only capture the image with one exposure. HDR technology combines several shots of the same scene taken with incrementally adjusted exposures to attain an image with a wide range of light levels. The result is closer to what we see in real life, as it brightens shadows and darkens highlights without compromising the rest of the image. All of these images look great in a larger size.

Tableaux Vivants : Tableaux Vivants Tableau vivant is French for "living picture." In photography, tableau vivant is used to describe a scene that contains many people frozen in one moment, and so illustrating a larger scene. A good tableau vivant should contain enough to give the viewer a sense of the individual and the entire scene simultaneously. All of these images look great in a larger size. Make sure you click on the image for a larger view.
