About the work

   

most of my images aren't taken in extraordinary settings or under extraordinary circumstances. More often than not, they're taken on ordinary days, doing ordinary things: watching the dancing reflections from waves of passing boat traffic; a sunday afternoon drive through wheat and canola fields in eastern washington; looking at the corroded, rusty back-end of an old tugboat; the list goes on!

i hope what you see and read here will inspire and raise your awareness for all of the extraordinarily ordinary beauty which, as the old hymn says, “…over and around us lies...”  it's everywhere!

happy imaging -- bill

gear & workflow

Cameras: nearly all images taken with Nikon film and digital cameras; most native film images are from slides which were later scanned; digital images are generally shot using nikon's RAW file format.  Look here for a good discussion of why RAW is such a great way to shoot.

Workflow: the images are not manipulated beyond basic color correction and occasional sharpening. my goal is to present images that are as close to original scene as possible. 

Printing: all printing is done with Epson printers using archival inks and matte papers from Epson and Moab.

Dang, this is a great little camera!

i sometimes feel like i'm in danger of just selling all my heavy-duty nikon bodies and lenses and simply going with my.....iPhone 4.  Not really, but it's always with me, takes remarkably clear and crisp photos and the number of apps that are available to tweak or polish an image after the fact are astonishing.  here are a couple of recent examples of what this little device is capable of, one mine and one from a friend.

tonight we went over to a local outdoor shopping center to run and errand and on the way back to the car looked up and saw this semi-abstract scene that made me think of a "burning bush".  no (real) camera, no problem - out with the iPhone and here's the image....with NO manipulation after the fact.

the second image came to me last week from a friend who has been traveling in west africa with his wife.  he has a great eye and will sometimes wander with a video camera, but when it comes to stills, the only thing he carries is his iPhone. here is one of several shots he sent me last week and then with a cool little app called instagram i was able to convert it to black & white,  crop it into a square format and add some contrast and a black border:
