Canon 1Ds Mark II, and a Canon 10D. My lenses include a Canon 70-200L F/2.8 IS, Canon 17-40mm L, Canon 100mm F/2.8 Macro, and, occassionally, a Canon 28-105mm. I scan 35mm slides and negatives using a Minolta Dimage Scan Elite 5400 II.
Favourite subjects:
Nature, Scenic, Landscapes, Architecture, Macro, Surreal and, ever so often. . .people. I am drawn to simple clean compositions - solitary objects on uncluttered tonal areas for the most part. I am fortunate enough to live in one of the most beautiful and photographable places in the world, California. Not a day passes without an opportunity to capture an extraordinary and unique image.
Bio / Artistic statement
Creation stands on its own. Any meaning or value is derived by each viewer solely from within the boundaries of the work itself. Photography, to me, is simply a wonderful method to express that primal desire to reflect and thus express truth or beauty (some say they are the same thing). It also may be simply the desire to convey a profoundly moving effect. To that end, the viewer either 'gets it' . . or is not moved.
Well I'm not particularly religious, nor an affirmed Christian. . but I can't see what it is about what was said here that could possibly be offensive to anyone. People are always so ready to be offended by someone else's perspective without really giving any thought to why they are. Insecurity maybe? I myself am more offended by the lack of respect that is inherent in the objections expressed here. posted in Let's Get Your Life Where God Wants It!
