Testing the New Lytro Camera

As of 07/24/2014, I am now an official beta tester for the new pro-version Lytro illum camera This is a totally cool camera that uses “Light Filed” technology to enable changes in focus AFTER the shot has been taken. It also has some other pretty special feature that I hope to show off over the next couple of weeks. Can’t wait to play with it and see what I can come up with.

White Space

    When a friend asked me to give a talk at her book release, I was not quite sure what I could add.  The deeply emotional and involving book is called “Finding Spiritual White Space”, and she wanted me to discuss how I use white space in my images.  As I examined how I use white space in photography, I realized that this fit perfectly.   I use white space to direct the viewers eye, to form the composition,  […]

As these new additions to the elevator series will show.     […]

Bunkers, Bars and Barricades

On occasion the elevators we visit are not so inviting. Periodically the odor wafting forth will acknowledge a previous human presence. Some elevators appear to be constructed more closely to a bunker or confining moving cell than an elegant carriage of transportation. But when something is an obsession, all one considers is filling that need, that desire, that addiction. So if it’s an elevator and there is something unique about it, Matthew is called to action. And I am literally along […]
