Photography is more about perception and selection than the actual taking of a photograph. Of course, the ability to transform a photograph in ways pleasing to the intellect and/or the eye gives an image a whole new dimension.

Many of the images in these portfolios have had no more done to them but a little cleaning up of noise, of artifacts such as dust and the infinite number of anti-gravity hairs of our cat. On the other hand, many of the images have been cropped, lightened or darkened, abstracted, or otherwise altered by Photoshop and/or other graphics programs.

There are a variety of reasons, of goals for doing this, some simple, such as making a particular portion of an image stand out better, and some profound, such as making a collage or altering an image to achieve a particular impact. Whatever the case, the ultimate intents are to make something that we enjoy, that interests us, and that, hopefully, will be something that you enjoy or find interesting.

8x10 and 11x14, 360-dpi, archival prints of these images are available.
