| Many of the photos on this page were
produced in the darkroom, using traditional manipulative techniques to achieve
the surreal images. |

A digital image of the sky, exactly as I discovered it. |

A digital
image, brightened. |

This
photo was created by 'sandwiching' two black and white negatives together and
then coloring the finished picture using colored pencils. |
|
An
infrared photo, incorrectly exposed. I kept it because I liked the shadowy,
foggy, and mysterious aura it has. |

This
picture illustrates the importance of lighting and how it's proper use can
produce dramatic effects. To achieve this look I draped a length of black
lace across the model's face. I then sepia toned the final image to warm it up. |

This was one of the
most frustrating photos in all my darkroom experiences! Every part of this photo
required either dodging or burning to get the proper exposure. This was a
statue attached to a wooden cross about 30 feet tall in a graveyard in Norfolk,
Va. The weather and time had worn away the face of the statue, and I
didn't want that to detract from the picture, so I deliberately overexposed the
area to keep it in shadow. |

A
digital image, where color and texture and shape all come together just so... |

This
picture, taken in Suffolk, Va. was originally a black and white image which was
then solarized in the darkroom and then placed face down on a blank piece of
photo paper and exposed to the enlarger light for a period of ten seconds. The
blank photo paper was then developed the same as any other photograph, and this
is the finished product. |
