Digital Portfolio Book by Blurb

Sorry to say that I cannot get this in time for our final class, but I'm really impressed with the ease of creating the book and hope it turns out half as good as it looks online. Enjoy the preview!

How And When To Use Watermarks

Presentation on Watermarks:

Artist Statement Draft

So many of us spend the majority of our lives behind walls and separated from the natural world. Whenever I get the chance to step outside, my wonder and amazement at nature is manifested in the photographs I create. It is almost as if I can make up for the lost time by getting as close as possible using my camera. Whether it is the form or color of growing things that I capture, these photographs are an expression of my interaction with the natural world around me.

Assignment 4 - Beyond the Print

Us Apple device enthusiasts appreciate the difficulty in dealing with Flash enabled web sites. In thinking about this assignment, it occurred to me that old technology actually would allow these users the ability to view similar galleries. My thought around it is really to display the photos in some grouping as they might appear on a gallery wall. Matted and framed for display, but also allowing a closer look at the detail in the image. I therefore created an old mapped image in HTML and linked it to the other photograph files. Most of the Flash vs Apple issues will be resolved in the move to HTML 5, but until then the older technologies can be leveraged.

Tilt Shift Time Lapse

I mentioned this very cool video showing tilt shift and time lapse photos. Not sure if it was done in Photoshop or in camera. Also not sure what the song is all about either. Ivette asked me to post it here.

Enjoy!
