Photography
When I was a graduate student in Rochester, New York, I developed a strong interest in photography, stimulated to a great extent by Eastman Kodak, the Eastman House, and Rochester Institute of Technology, major Rochester institutions. I enjoy a renewed interest in the art more recently with a digital camera. I feel particularly drawn to photographing "found" objects, whether natural or human artifacts, using their textures, shapes, and colors to create abstract compositions.

Below are some examples of some of my "creative" photography.
I took the photos in this first group near our previous home
in Nassau Bay, Texas (near NASA's Johnson Space Center). Click on

The next group consists of some unedited shots taken at Moonlight Beach, Leucadia. I composed these shots, below tide line during a minus low tide, with awareness of the ephemeral nature of the "objects." Indeed, the waves washed over and "re-composed" several of them within seconds of clicking the shutter. Click on the thumbnail photo for a full-size version.
Back in my "film" days I used a Single Lens Reflex camera, which gave me greater creative control. I recently purchased a digital SLR camera. It will take a while to learn how to get the most satisfying results with it, but here are some of my initial SLR photos. Click on the thumbnail for a full-size version.
