Cape Cod (Sept 1-2, 2008)| I was able to stop by Cape Cod on the way home from the workshop in Canada - what an exciting place! I will definitely have to go back there and spend a few days photographing - it has so much to offer. I had the good fortune to photograph a replica of the Swedish ship Kalmar Nyckle as it was sailing out of the harbor - that was an awesome sight! My thanks to Jeff Lovinger for being such a great guide around the area. |

Workshop in Edmundston, Canada (Aug 24 - Aug 31, 2008)| Here are a few images from a workshop with Andre Gallant and Freeman Patterson. The workshop was amazing and I was very inspired by these two wonderful photographers. My assignment was 'serenity' and images from that assignment are mixed in with other images taken during the week. We were able to visit a metal scrap yard, two beautiful churches in Edmundston as well as photograph daily in the gorgeous New Brunswick Botanical Garden. I was very fortunate to have the beautiful Helene pose for me to complete my photo assignment. |

Smokey Mountains May 2008 | These images are the result of a workshop I took with Tony Sweet in the Smokies. The weather was absolutely perfect the whole week, too bad I was sick half the time! Jim White was also there providing instruction for printing with profiles - it was a fabulous workshop! I have put in a mix of straight shots, HDR, montages, a ziggy and always IR. Enjoy! |

High Dynamic Range - HDR | I have had so much fun taking shots to process in Photomatix and make an image in HDR. My best success has been with scenes, architecture and objects. Macro does not work so well. On the image titles there may be "x1" or "x2", etc. - this refers to how many times I have tonemapped the image - the more tonemapping - the more 'grunge' the look. I have included some images that I tonemapped one time and then next to it will be the same image done three or four times - what a difference! |

My Garden | This album features shots taken in my garden. I will be adding to it during the year - I like to photograph in the garden during the different seasons. There will be some straight shots, montages, multiples and ziggies. Haven't done any HDR yet in the garden, but that will be coming along soon - just waiting for the right cloud formations! Some of the shots will be just to show the colors that are going on at any particular time in the garden. Hope you enjoy! |

Behind Textured Glass | Here are a few shots of various flowers/objects that were positioned behind a pane of textured glass. I can't wait to try printing some of these out on a textured substrate to make them look like an oil painting! |

Longwood Gardens (March 2008)| These images were taken over the past two years. The blue poppies were shot in March 2007 and 2008. Not as many poppies this year, but was able to focus on more HDR work and play around with multiples and ziggies. |

Infrared Images | These images were shot with a Nikon D70, and more recently a D2X that was converted to infrared. Some images are 'straight' shots, while others have been montaged, and a few done in HDR. Sometimes I would get a color in the infrared image, like the blue in the sunflower and iris images, and at other times I would get a pink cast as seen in the radiator room. IR is always a surprise! |

Macro Images | These are macro shots of flowers/objects taken over the past two years. My favorite subjects are flowers - what a surprise! Most of the flowers I grow in my garden or greenhouse (the plummeria tree lives in there). |
