Picture Story: A Sunset Opportunity
2006-12-07
This picture story concerns a sunset. It's a rather unusual sunset in that instead of beaches and strolling couples it features rush-hour traffic. In fact if it were not for the rush-hour traffic it would never have been taken at all. It's a story about taking advantage of a unique opportunity.

Picture Story: Isolation For An Evening Rose
2006-11-11
Many of my best photos (or at least the ones I like the most) are taken in the evening light. I like the color, the angle of the light, and the way that the long shadows cause contrast in a scene that does not exist at other times. This picture story is about using contrast and position to create isolation in an image.
Picture Story: What Is That?
2006-10-29
When I show this picture to people they say "What is that?" It doesn't resemble anything familiar, although I am sure that some people reading this will recognize it immediately. It is viewed daily by hundreds of thousands of people, but not quite the way I have depicted it. This picture story is about creating something puzzling from something already unusual.
Picture Story: Boy at Sunset
2006-10-21
This picture tells the story of combining moving my vantage point with cropping to get the image I was after. I am learning that one of the skills of a photographer's "eye" is being able to identify small parts of the total field of view as being complete photos in the raw. The task then is to capture, process, and present so the viewer sees only and immediately what I want them to see.

From time to time I will be posting one of my photographs on the front page of the blog with a link to the Picture Stories page. On the Picture Stories page I show the original and final images and describe the circumstances of the image and how and why I got from the original to the final version.
