Welcome...
I'm glad to share these images from the Maine Coast and it's inspiring light! They're made with several types of cameras, from pinhole to digital, and a variety of photographic processes, from black/white and platinum/palladium to piezo and ink jet printing.

Events:
The slide show and discussion at the library in Blue Hill, Maine (Expanding Your Vision - 90 minutes), was a success. A follow up 4-part sequence is planned. 1. The Camera. How do all these cameras work? We'll start by creating a room sized camera obscura and then learn the workings of your own cameras.
2. Approaches to Photography. This will reveal ways to think about and practice photography, including the inside scoop on several modes you can use to get the shots you need. 3. Live Photo-shoot; an on location, hands-on experience. 4. Digital Applications. You'll be surprised at how easy it can be to tune up your photos with imaging software and get them ready to share.
