Art Photographs
Ton Sai, near Krabi, Thailand, 2006
Here are some photographs which have some sort of artistic component to them.  No, I don't have some fantastic DSLR, though I do have a decent Canon digital. Don't be intimidated by camera Nazis. Here is my basic rule to taking good pictures: take lots. Through dumb luck, a few of them will be great. One picture in the gallery was taken on a pocket 126 camera in 1982. Several were shot on 35mm film. The recent ones (after 2003) are digital photos.

Tilt-Shift Photography


I became interested in tilt-shift photography by seeing Australian photographer Keith Loutit's website. The technique involves photo-manipulating focus and contrast to make the picture look like a photo of tiny toy miniatures. You can see more at Tiltshiftmaker. I'm not claiming my images and video are professional but it is a fun technique which "smallifies" your world.
