Windsor, Ontario : This is my latest trip, it was to the down under of the ontario province right before the badlands that is detroit. I got a chance to take some night shots of the detroit skyline and a carnival that was passing by town for the holidays which parked right in front of the windsor casino made a great oppurtunity for some night shots.

Fragments of Color - Abstract expressionism of rocks. : These photographs are one of my attempts at blurring the line between science and art! All of these images are of paper-thin, transparent/transluscent slices of rocks photographed with pure 5500 degree Kelvin, white light in a microscope. I use a industrial rock saw to cut a hand-sized piece of a rock, then trim it with a oil-cooled saw with a diamond blade after which I glue a square chip of the rock to a glass slide using a special epoxy and 'cure' it with heat. Following that I hand-grind the slice with a series of grits until the slice is about 30 microns thick (a.k.a. barely visible!). I then use a 'petrologic microscope' with a special adapter tube that acts as a 'close-up bellows' and attach my 35-mm SLR film camera onto it and take the photographs. The 100 ASA film is then developed normally and the prints scanned. Magnification used is 40x so the entire area of a 600x800 pixel image is just about the size of a pencil point on the glass slide! I do not use any artificial coloration of light or materials in these photographs; all colors are how they appear under plane polarized light -- meaning light vibrating in only one plane - similar to what polarized sunglasses do - the cutting-out of the glare is what intensifies the colors that are already present in such slices of a rock. The other way to understand this is to think of a thin, colored (let's say light green) plastic sheet. If you hold just one such thin sheet against a light source - you'll be able to see the light green color, but then take a stack of a 1000 of these sheets together and what you then see is almost black/opaque. What I am doing with these photographs is a kind of "reverse engineering" with starting out with a 'thick mass of a rock' and just slicing it very thinly to get to that elusive 'thin sheet' of its composition - a thin-ness that allows for its inherent colors to become more visible. I like to think of this work as 'parting the curtains'! Enjoy!

A Few Recent Favorite Photos : The Stillness of Motion would be the best label of the 1st page of pictures.  1000 people could be hearing or seeing the same thing and yet each person will hear or see it differently.  MOST THUMBNAILS ARE ZOOMED PICTURES, SO HIT INDIVIDUAL PICTURE TO SEE ALL.  When you look at the full picture does your perception change?  Pick out a still life scene and make motion happen.  Which picture would you feel most comfortable being in? Also which picture would you not want to be in? If you were in the picture what story could you tell about the experience?For comments Write me at; rd4802@earthlink.net.  Thanks for visiting.
