Here are some scans of some of my pictures. Click on the thumbnails below for larger versions. These are just for fun images and are for your personal use only. Do not use them for any commercial purposes, nor post them on your website, nor sell them. If you are interested, I can scan much higher resolution images suitable for large-format printing (53 MB, 36-bit color).
 
 
 
 

Blue Fox. A fox enduring a cold Estonian winter day. He was either roaming the streets of Tallin, or found in the zoo.

Maine Moose, Baxter State Park. This was taken on a photo trip organized by l.l. bean.

Estonian Church. It looks like it should be in the American southwest, but that's snow on it. I love the art deco carved wood in the details (which are clear in the original resolution, but hard to see here)

These are tubes from a beautiful volunteer-restored wooden sailing ship that used to be docked off old town Alexandria (Virginia). The owners couldn't afford the $1 million restoration job it needed, and sold it for $30,000. The idiot who bought it knew nothing about ships, decided it didn't really need repairs, hired a crew and took his family sailing to the bahamas. Needless to say, it sank on the way. The print is a polaroid image transfer.

This is a color infrared image of the Washington Monument. I'm not sure if I used a filter. This was the second-best picture in the series; I misplaced the one with much more detail in the red trees (which in real life were green) and have since rediscovered it, but haven't rescaned it.

Ok, not so artsy, but more for the benefit of some friends. Someone's nice car, one day after the peak foliage hit Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Here is the birth of that car at the Performance Center in Greer, South Carolina. Again, more documentary than artsy, but still pretty, and a pretty amazing experience.

This is a frame of my animation of the Gemstar satellite deployment (2.8 MB). I worked on the satellite, but the rocket taking it into orbit malfunctioned and it had to be destroyed. The solar panels deploy, then the attitude control system stabilizes the satellite, and then the main antenna is deployed.

This fashion picture takes advantage of a number of tricks. First off, my friend's makeup is real and was self-applied by an errant softball at a local community game she was playing in.  Second, it's made spookier with a special flash that generates the halo-like shadow.  It's called a Ring Flash, and it literally goes around the lens. Thanks to Sarah Vowell's story about her fashion-model sister and her black eye.

This cute spider was resting in a bush, just feet away from the gravesite of a signer of the Declaration of Independece.

I was lucky enough to be visiting Japan when Mount Asama erupted. On the first day that I was there and the coulds were clear, it was putting out puffs (see icon to left). The next day (9/16/2004, this video) it was a continous stream of ash. In the next couple of days, some of this reached Tokyo!
