All the photos are digital,
taken with either my old Kodak DC 265 digital camera, a Canon
Powershot Pro 1, my infrared modifed Sony F828, or my new Canon 20D. Photos were then imported into Photoshop where
the B&W ones had the color channels removed to give me black and white
photos. Images were then "Dark Roomed" in Photoshop, cropping and
adjusting brightness and contrast, and dodging and burning areas to
either lighten or darken overexposed or underexposed areas as I felt
they should be. The finished photos where then saved in Photoshop
format, Downsized and sharpend, the exported to JPG.
The final images you see here are all original true photographs,
nothing has been digitally added or changed. Nothing has been done to
them other that what can be done in a normal darkroom, most of which is
just correcting exposure and lighting. But thanks to modern Digital
technology, it is far eaiser, faster, cheaper, and better than anything
I could have done using film and print.
I tried as best I could to bring out in the photos what I
originally saw, and share that with you.. feel free to send me any
comments or questions you may have at the e-mail address listed on the
home page.
** As a note, all the photos have now been moved to P-base instead of
on my own site. They can be found by going here:
