So it’s been a little while since I have posted any images to this blog, not because I didn’t want to, but because I have been working on some other things lately, mainly reorganizing my entire digital life and developing some backup procedures and making sure I practice what I preach when it comes to data storage. I’ll go into detail a bit later. Anyway, I had dinner with a few friends of mine the other day and they both […]

My friend Vera, an actress in residence here at the Maine Media Workshops. She grew up in Albania but has lived in New Jersey for the last several years and plans to move to LA pretty soon!

This is part of a long term project of self portraits. Not sure if I will ever do anything with it, but maybe when I’m famous I will release a book filled with images of me taking a picture of me!

I live on the river that feeds this lake in Maine.

I got to borrow an infrared digital camera for a few hours the other day, so I ran around campus at the Maine Media Workshops and took a few snapshots. It’s interesting to play with. I’ll post more info about it on www.deepdisch.net when I get a chance.

A pond in Maine.

This is an HDR shot from Rockport Harbor in Maine.

My friend Rainer sitting for a spontaneous portrait session in Virginia. These aren’t very sharp because it was pretty dark outside so my shutter was open for a long time and I was doing these handheld. Somebody should buy me a nice lightweight carbon fiber tripod to prevent this type of thing.

Used book stores are amazing places. I love just going in with an open mind and finding random fascinating books to skim through and sometimes buy. When I was in New York I visited Strand bookstore (18 Miles of books!) and explored a lot of interesting photography books and a few history books as well.

That’s my friend Jeremey. I put a version of this pic on deepdisch.net awhile back, but I decided to take another shot at editing it and I like this version much better. It is a combination of three pictures with different exposure levels (brightness). It’s a technique called HDR (High Dynamic Range).
