Frequently Asked Questions

Did you take all these pictures?
Yes. I do my own printing, too. I buy the mat board precut, but I do everything else myself.

How long have you been taking pictures?
Since I was about nine, in 1970. I'll pause while you add that up.

Are they digital?
Mostly. I have a few cards that I scanned from slides and negatives, but mostly I took them with a digital camera.

Do you edit them?
Only to correct the color and take out minor dust spots. Everything you see is pretty much the way I saw it when I took the picture. Well, with a couple of fairly obvious exceptions like that screech owl on the right.

What kind of camera do you use?
I took most of the cards with a Pentax *ist DS, using either a Pentax 18-55mm zoom lens, or a Sigma 28-300mm zoom lens.

How do you print them?
For the matted prints, I use an Epson R1800 printer, Epson paper, and Epson ink. The manufacturer says that with proper care, they should last fifty years or more.

Do you have a picture of...
Yes, but I left it at home. I could probably leave two thirds of what I usually have at a show at home. The problem is figuring out which two thirds.

Do you sell your work online?
Not formally, but if you're interested in something you've seen at a show or in my photo album, e-mail me and we'll work something out.

Do you take credit cards?
Yes, finally. I can now take Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
