All things fotographia.  All of my photography should be linked under this category.  And maybe some other stuff.

Mortimer Dempsey

Scott is a long-standing friend of mine (his mom gave me painting lessons when he and I were grade school chums).  He has a terrific history in the visual arts and in me he has a dedicated fan.

You can check out some of his stuff over at Saatchi On-Line under his pseudonym, Mortimer Dempsey.

To either save you a click or motivate you to see more, have a look at this piece:

I like to think my Luxagraphic Movement is having an influence on his work.

Enjoy.

Down in the Light

This unmanipulated photograph (9083) was shot in my Ballard studio on 21 October 2006.

All of the available light is from a projected film-still.

This was shot with my friend, Charlie’s, Nikon.  No post-processing work was done except that which was necessary to post the image from raw data.

Hills and Valleys

This unmanipulated photograph (1307) was shot in our new SAM sculpture park on 11 June 2007.

What is fascinating here is the optical illusion created by my chosen perspective.

The photograph has been rotated 180 degrees.  In so doing the edge of metal and its shadow (originally cast downward) are reversed and the shadow transforms into a deep valley visually.

(The thumbnail version also fails to deliver the illusion, presumably because you cannot see into the details which evoke the valley.)

Thanks for taking an interest in my photographs.
