WELCOMERochester, New York and the surrounding area have many photogenic
locations--most appropriate, given Rochester's longstanding history with photography. I am pleased that you have stopped by to check out my
selection of images from Rochester and the surrounding Finger Lakes Region and
Western New York. You will find unique images having considerable variety,
including a large selection of panoramic images.
When you browse the images, I hope you find ones that you would
like to own. All of the images are available as photographic prints, including
large sizes having exceptional quality. My photographs are printed on
KODAK EKTACOLOR Papers that have the look and feel of classic
color photographs, but are enhanced when printed with digital image optimization
for quality, sharpness, and color. These photographic papers represent the
state-of-the-art for
image stability. I have numerous photographs in stock, others will
need to be printed per your order. Professional framing with archival materials
is also available. See the
mat
gallery and the prices
page for details of available sizes and prices.
Consider that my photographs will add a photogenic regional character to the
decor of your home. Large photographs will also be attractive for your business
decor, especially if you are located in the area and want to add an impressive local presence
to the office. If
you can use an image on your website or publication, they are also available for
a fee. If you have a great idea for a photograph, I would be pleased to work
with your commission.
Something New -- Introducing
Rochester Photos PhotoCards 2007 Edition. The photographs were taken over
the last few years and I designed the PhotoCards with four themes in mind:
sunsets, riverfront, Mount Hope Cemetery, and winter. They are the first of
what I hope will be a continuing series of themed PhotoCards that I am planning
to produce. In addition to a brief representation of my photographic portfolio,
I am hoping that there will be interest in the PhotoCards for those who have
interest in Rochester scenes; perhaps they might become collectible items. More
details are at the following the
Rochester Photos PhotoCards
link.
In early 2006 I was fortunate to be asked to join
the Image City Photography Gallery as a partner. A very dedicated
group launched the gallery in Fall 2005 and since its opening more than 30 shows
have been exhibited with more than 200 photographers. I am
currently showing a selection of my photographs and to change the
photographs that I exhibit for each show, every four weeks. If you would like to
see the quality of my photographs first hand, visit the gallery. You will also
be very impressed by the caliber of the photographs on display by the member
and guest photographers. Check out all of the details of the gallery at
www.ImageCityPhotographyGallery.com.

ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER
My entire work experience has been involved in photography. In high school I was fortunate to get a
delivery-boy job at a photofinishing plant in Fargo, North Dakota.
Eventually, I worked at most of the jobs in the plant and was able to work my way through college producing people's pictures.
After I got my BS and MS degrees in chemistry at Moorhead State University and the University of Minnesota, I had one dream -- to work for Eastman Kodak Company.
I was fortunate to have that dream fulfilled in 1974 when I was hired into the Photographic Technology Division. For the next 31 years, I worked with fabulous teams on the design and the development
of the processing chemicals for photographic papers and films. I retired June 2005 as the Technical Director-PhotoProcessing Chemicals. During my years at Kodak, I
observed
and participated in activities that yielded very significant improvements in the products that greatly improved the image quality of photographs.
With that strong technical background I am now working to further develop my photography passion to produce fine art photographs. Current photographic capabilities allow us
to produce astounding photographs. It is a very exciting time participating in the evolution where digital capture and digital printing produces such new capabilities--notably panoramic photographs.
With my background and experience, I am convinced that the best system involves digital capture, custom image enhancement with Photoshop, and digital printing onto KODAK EKTACOLOR Papers
-- a "C-Print." I am sold on the look and feel of the classic color photographic papers using a digital front end.
I am also blessed to have a couple of very supportive friends. Their combination of masterful technical solutions in image processing (you will notice a very realistic and exceptional sharpness in my photographs),
and their offering of challenging ideas, and friendly critique and support are most appreciated. Thanks John and Mike.
My goal is to strive to produce photographs that will interest you with their composition, impress you with their image quality, and be even better tomorrow with what I have learned today.
