New Corporate Collection

Home Federal Savings and Loan dedicated a brand new location today in Ashland, KY. It is a beautiful facility and one their customers will be most impressed with upon entering. The interior designer selected "Paramount" for display in their client waiting area. The framing is custom designed by Mary Johnson from Alladin's Art Gallery in Ashland. It is rumored that they matched the couch to the print! Another corporate collection has begun with Jeff Ball Photography.

First Light on Zion Canyon

My first photograph from the Digital Summit has been released. It was from a very special morning along the switch-back road toward Zion tunnel. I hope you like the image and look for many more images and announcements coming soon with some surprises!

November Print of the Month: Zabriskie Point (color)

The geologic classroom of Death Valley provides incredible landscape photography opportunities. Zabriskie Point is one of the highlights of the area and this is my color representation of the view looking west from the overlook area prior to sunset. I hope you enjoy the print.

Return from Digital Summit

I have just returned from the 2007 Digital Fine Art Summit. It was a fantastic event with guest instructor Charles Cramer joining Alain Briot and Uwe Steinmueller. I learned a great deal at this conference and have improved my photography and printing as a result. I am very excited about the work coming from Zion, Bryce, and the Grand Staircase. Please stay tuned for images as they become available on the website. I feel that another learning plateau has been achieved and look forward to future learning in the art of photographic printing.

Comet 17P/Holmes visible to the naked eye

In the past week, a relatively obscure comet has undergone a tremendous outburst which is visible from backyards and streets to the naked eye. The comet is 17P/Homes and is currrently in the constellation Perseus. You can simply search for information on the comet through your favorite search engine, but I wanted to encourage you to go outside tonight and treat yourself to a spectacular comet view with the unaided eye or even better with your binoculars. I am currrently imaging the comet and will post images in the next few days. Enjoy the specatcular view and stay in touch.

Please check out this website for more information on the comet.

New High Resolution program

I am watching with interest a new development in achieving higher resolution images with today's DSLRs. The process involves maxizing image resolution by combining several images and performing super resolution algorithms. The program is PhotoAcute and is fairly new. Ewe Steinmueller is performing real-world testing on the application and has posted a diary at the link below. I hope to evaluate the process in the near future.
