The images contained in this site are grouped
into three general items.
Straight photography - ninety-five
percent are taken without filters. The other five percent are usually
winter shots where glare from the snow can be prohibitive thus forcing
the use of a filter. I believe in being a purest when it comes to
this type of work. What you see here is pretty much what you get
- it's as if you were there with me at the time of taking the photograph.
Expedition photography - these
images are from some of the trips I have made to remote northern
or other areas in Canada and are shot in a sequential manner - you
will see very good shots next to plain items. There is no grouping
to separate the two as I generally have travel notes beside those
pictures to explain the trip as I go along.
Enhanced photography - these
are images that are based upon my composition in a shot and then
are manipulated into a completely different form of artwork using
my art as the starting point. After this manipulation, some are
just mild enhancements and others art a completely new creation
- the difference between a mild fix and something entirely new is
easy to see in some of the pieces. If I have manipulated the image,
I put it into this section so that there is a separation between
my traditional work and this style of art.
Whichever area you go into while visiting my site,
it should also be stated that the pictures you see here are a good
representation of they way they will look when you order them. However
please note, the way they look can change slightly from one computer
monitor to the next - usually darker to lighter or vise versa -
but it will not effect the overall quality of the print that you
order and the colours are much richer than seen on a monitor.
Another note that you should be aware of is "size".
When you see a "size" reference - i.e. 17 x 22 - this
is the size of the paper that the image is on, not the actual image
size. It could be a little smaller or modified to best suit the
image on display - usually about a one inch white boarder around
the image.
