| Crooked Lines, Plasma, and Masks April 2008 These are 3 images taken with a Pentax Optio W30 point and shoot camera I won in a contest at work. I manipulated images into repeating patterns through rotation and by using various blending thechniques in Photoshop. The original intent was to use them as artwork in a music project, but as that project is on hold at the moment I figured I'd at least put them up on the site. |

| Little Blair Valley Wakeup Call May 12, 2008 I took these images after waking up to the 90 degree plus heat of the mid-May sun at Little Blair Valley. My friend Eric (also my manager at OPT) and I had gone on an overnight trip to do some astrophotography, and we were both trying to tear our gear down as quickly as possible so that we could get in our air-conditioned vehicles and make the long drive home.

| Grand Canyon - South Rim July 23, 2008 These two shots plus the panorama above made from 5 images stitched together were taken during my trip to Arizona in late July 2008. The main purpose of the trip was to chase thunderstorms, but I met my family out there for a couple days and we decided to head up to the Grand Canyon for the afternoon. While there, I figured I'd better put my new camera to use. Canon Rebel XSi (450D), Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 lens. Panorama photomerging done in Photoshop CS2. |
