Jaw

Not a jaw, really, but a macro of a part of a Bird-of-Paradise using the reverse lens technique. (You've seen it in a different orientation in the show poster.)

Around The Corner

I love images where you can go one way or another. This is a 3D Anaglyph (Red/Blue) of a turning path near the Ciyun (Cloud-Resting) temple on Phoenix Hill. This is a 3D anaglyph printed on fabric and first shown at Cal Poly's Downtown Center in 2004.

Nakuru

“Most Restful” of my travel photos is this image from the Nakuru Wetlands in Kenya.

Flower

This is a macro (close up) of a flower near my residence. Instead of using a macro lens, I reversed my standard lens using adapter rings. I still can’t believe how well it worked.

North Kaibab

It is not necessary to have a stereo camera to take stereo photos. You simply take two pictures separated by the width of ones eyes and then combine them in Photoshop using a simple technique to create the 3D effect with standard red/blue glasses. This example preserves a good color balance through the glasses.

Enlightenment!

I wish I could say that I planned this shot so that the point of the triangle of light was focused exactly on the monk’s head. Instead, this was a happy accident or my “best simultaneity!”

I Accuse!

From a photography shoot outside of Hoi An comes my “Most Active Subject” – a young girl with a compelling personality.
