LightCentric Photography

My photography is a way for me to capture, preserve and share beautiful images I see. I make photographic prints with the goal that a viewer would want to hang them on their wall. This site is my opportunity to show my work.

My personal vision captures and represents images that nature and man present. While realism is perhaps more of a photographic phenomena than other art forms, there is a significant creative component in photographic images and I try to bring my own unique style and vision to their creation. My goal in making a finished print is not “photorealism” but presenting what I “see.”

"About Me" Pages

This site is also about my personal approach to photography and my philosophy. When you know something about the photographer, it puts their work in a different perspective. Those who aren’t interested can, of course, skip the “Bio” sections altogether. For those who want the “quick and dirty,” the “Short Version” is -- I hope -- brief and painless. For those who want to know more than they really want to know, the Long Version says a little bit more about who I am and where I have been in photography.

Resources

The References and Links section of the site is not intended to be an exhaustive list of resources, but rather, some of my personal favorite books and sites and will evolve as an eclectic "list" of sorts involving other photographers' sites, "how to" information, articles of interest and some equipment references. The books here are available in my LightCentric Photography Bookstore on my Blog.

Evolution

This site was originally privately designed for me in early 2008. While the original site was a “good start,” there were parts of the execution which were unsatisfactory to me, which led me to “migrate” it to the ifp3 site. No web host can be everything for everybody, and moving it appears to involve replacing one set of compromises for another. I fully expect it to be an evolving project. I may well add new pages and take different directions in the years to come. I welcome any comment you might have that would make this a better site.

Thank you for looking.
