Introduction

Having at long last embraced the digital revolution, I created this site as a place to share some of my images and my thoughts regarding photography. Notwithstanding advancements in technology, this site is dedicated to the spirit expressed by Henri Cartier-Bresson:

To take photographs means to recognize--simultaneously and within a fraction of a second--both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning...It is putting one's head, one's eye, and one's heart on the same axis.

Since I have been posting images since January 2005, there are now quite a few images online. If this is your first visit, you may find it easier to look through the categories of images after looking at this page (one of my favorite categories is Illuminations). I hope you enjoy your visit.

A busy schedule has prevented me from having the time to post on this blog on a regular basis. If you want to see more recent images, please have a look at my page at PhotoShelter.com.

Monitor Calibration

In order to see these images correctly, you must be able to see black, white and each individual shade of gray in the scale above. If the scale doesn't look right, you probably need to calibrate your monitor.

To calibrate your monitor, decrease the brightness of your monitor until the last two dark shades on the scale above appear black. Then increase the brightness until the first shade of gray appears next to black at the end of the scale. When you can see two separate shades at the far left side of the scale, stop adjusting the brightness and instead, adjust the contrast until the rest of the shades appear distinct from dark on the left side of the scale to bright on the right side of the scale.
