  On this page is a sampling of my digital photos, this page is in no way a complete representation of all of my work. I will be adding to these as I see fit, and may even change the photos around. I have finally learned how to make thumbnails, so, if you have visited this page in the past, it will now load faster.  

 Below are some photos that I took in Charleston South Carolina in January 2004, I used a Canon Power Shot S400 Digital Elph. The S400 is a 4 megapixel point and shoot that is the same size as a pack of cigarettes, you can literally carry it in your pocket ready for use at a moments notice.

 All of my photos are optimized for printing, so, they may not appear quite as nice on the web as they do in person. Most of the photos on this page are matted, framed and are on display in our home.

                                January in Charleston

 Matted in white, and framed in black, this photo at first appears to be a Black and White, until you notice the subtle colors.

                                  A Gated Window

 This was just one of several ground level, gated windows that surround the base of a church in Old Town Charleston. I found the contrasting textures and details interesting.

                               A Charleston Morning

 This one, also matted in white and framed in black gives me the feeling of a sunrise beginning a new day.

 I have another version of this photo that I did in a very high contrast Black and White, that version is very somber. I call it "A Charleston Mourning"

                           Flowers in the French Quarter

 This is just a bright and cheerful image, it was taken in the "French Quarter" of Old Town Charleston. Parts of the photo look like I had the camera tilted when I took this, other parts look perfectly in plumb. The pink building was one of those that was severely damaged in the 1881 earthquake. The wall at the extreme right, (out of view), has a bow in it that is about 3-4 feet out.

                                      Afternoon Sun

 This is a sunroom on a home down by "The Battery". I just thought that it is an interesting study in contrasts, and the sky was very blue that day. 

 In the photo, the building looks gray, it is, it is a color called "Charleston Green".

                                   Midnight Gas lamp

On our way back to our hotel room, a little after midnight, I spotted this gas lamp on the building across from our hotel. For no other reason than I like gas lamps, I took the picture.

 The next series of photos were taken in our backyard, unless otherwise noted, I used a Canon Digital EOS 10D. The 10D is a 6.3 megapixel digital SLR that is more capable of taking photos than I am, it approaches medium format in capabilities.

                                  On Walker's Pond 1

                                  On Walker's Pond 2

 These two photos lose a lot when sized for web viewing, they are optimized for printing and look stunning matted in white, and framed in rustic green frames.

 I have been intending to repair that dock, but, it looks really good in photos.

                                       A Bird House

 This is just a bird house that sits on the privacy fence behind our pool. This photo is still in process. 

                                        A Water Lilly

 Everybody has to do at least one Water Lilly, heck, Claude Monet practically made a career out of painting them. I just happen to have a pond, and this one was in bloom, so I photographed it. The Dragonfly stopped buy to see what was going on. This one really looks much better in print than it does on the web.

                                        A Water Lilly 2

 The same day....different flower .    The pond was quit still that day, so I decided to do two water lilies.........well.....that I have displayed so far.     

                                             Weeds

 Everybody shoots flowers.  I thought that I would do something different, so, I shot these weeds that were growing around my pond. An excellent excuse to get out of yard work.                                     

                                              Birdbath

This is a bird bath in my back yard.........damn I bet that your tired of seeing my back yard by now.

                                                                   A Prairie Sunset  

 This photo was taken Thanksgiving day from the steps of the old High School Cafeteria  in Garfield Kansas. For this photo I used my Canon Power Shot S400 Digital Elph.                           

   I hope that you found this just a little interesting, if not, at least it didn't cost you anything.
