I love writing.

But I wanted to find out what it would be like to take an idea and present it, instead of in words, in images and sound.

I started with photographs, then expanded into videos and Flash.

These photographs have been taken by me, or, in the case of Series V, have been taken of me.

Series I is called Landscapes
Series II, Landscape Details
Series III, Our Cats
Series IV, Portraits
Series V, Watch Me Age
Series VI, Other

All the photographs were shot with a Kodak DC280 Zoom Digital Camera; or with a Nikon 2020N, and scanned. Most of the photographs have been cropped, and most have had their color values adjusted, using Adobe Limited Edition software. Other than these post-photograph enhancements, no other changes have been made to the original images. They appear as they were captured.

The photographs are best viewed using a resolution of 1024 X 768.

Each of the videos offered here will be brief, generally under one minute. To create each, I've drawn on the Lumiere tradition of filming ordinary life, but a life in which, for example, in 1897, through a jam in the motion picture camera, and a restart of the sprockets, a bus can transform into a hearse.

Until my own videos are ready, I offer a video shot by someone else. I don't have a clue who made it. It was floating around the Internet, then forwarded by my wife to me. The only thing I've changed is the title.

The Flash movie presented here was created by me in Flash 5. If you don't have a broadband connection, you'll need to let the Flash movie load, then hit reload in order to have images and sound synchronize.
