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.

I love movies, and the idea of making movies. Mary and I recently bought a Flip digital camcorder, as well as movie editing software (Sony's Vegas Movie Studio).

Let Him In is my first attempt at a video. It has no images, other than text, and is meant as a promotion for my short story collection, Remove the Eyes. I hope you enjoy it.

My next project will be a full-length documentary on Mary's dad. After that and during that, I hope to experiment with a lot of short films.

Stay tuned.

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.
