This hole focuses the light onto a piece of film or photo paper in a light-tight box.

The new work is from this past summer - abstract images from a recent trip to Greece and photographs from ahiking trip during the summer. The new photographs explore the idea of surfaces as whole objects, and the void photography creates between 2 and 3 dimensions.

I also updated some older film photography references to make the tutorial more relevant to modern digital photography. Enjoy!

The work is all new, from the last 6 months or so. Much is from a photography trip into rural and small-town California. I'm very happy with the work I did at some informal junkyards in California and Calgary, as well as my first attempts at black and white portraiture and nude photography!

The new work begins to explore urban areas in earnest: I have been finding thought-provoking, abstract subjects in the city, including some burnt abandoned houses. There is more rural work from the last 6 months as well. Photographs from a recent photography trip to California will be posted soon!

The first was for 'Brilliant Branches', in the Landscape/Nature Category. The next was for 'Leaf, Ice, Reflections', in the Seascape/Water Category. This is a publication I respect, and I am truly honoured to be among this year's winners! (Dec 1, 2007)
