In my years of making objects or images, I have remained fascinated with tools. For me, digital imaging is just the latest. The advantages of this new technology are many and, as is often the case, the risk of foolishness is high. There is no end to possible manipulation, in camera, computer, or printer. Still, these are only tools, as valuable as the user is skilled. At times, my goal is to reproduce what I see. At other times, what I capture is beyond what I saw and I’d be limiting myself not to use that. The tools, analog or digital, are in service of a vision not a dogma. My intention is to foster a conversation between the image and me, and, ultimately, you.
Now, for the more technically minded: I started working digitally in 1999 and worked for years with Nikon Coolpix cameras (first a CP990 and then a CP5000). About eight years ago I began working with D70 dSLR and then shifted to a Nikon D90 dSLR. I shoot in RAW format and I process the images in Lightroom 3.3, with some (increasingly less-frequent) visits to Photoshop CS5. I print from Lightroom using an Epson 2200 printer, a “used-to-be” state-of-the-art but still excellent 7-color pigment ink printer.
