About the work

   

The images here weren't taken in extraordinary settings or under extraordinary circumstances. More often than not, they were taken on ordinary days, doing ordinary things: watching the dancing reflections from waves of passing boat traffic; a sunday afternoon drive through wheat and canola fields in eastern washington; looking at the corroded, rusty back-end of an old tugboat; an early morning walk on the beach, watching the moon set and finding a pile of fishing nets laying on the sand.

This blog is attached to my main photography site, h3images.com and is mostly about...photography. Fair warning though: because photography is about so much more than pointing a camera at something and firing the shutter, other topics and features that may not seem to be 100% photography related will seep in. Hopefully that won't be off-putting. If it is, just click "home" on the navigation bar above and go back to looking at images.

I hope what you see and read here will inspire and raise your awareness for all of the extraordinarily ordinary beauty which, as the old hymn says, “…over and around us lies...” Look around - it's everywhere!

Happy imaging -- bill

gear & workflow

Cameras: nearly all images on the site were taken with Nikon film and digital cameras; most native film images are from slides which were later scanned; digital images are generally shot using nikon's RAW file format.  Look here for a good discussion of why RAW is such a great way to shoot.

Workflow: my images aren't manipulated beyond basic levels, curves, white balance and sometimes slight saturation adjustments. my goal is to present images that are as close to original scene as possible. 

Printing: all printing is done with Epson printers using archival inks and matte papers, usually from Epson and Moab.

Top Three Shots of 2007: #1

DateFriday, November 7, 2008 at 12:48AM


I realize that 2008 is almost over and i never did post my #1 favorite image from 2007.

So, just to get it out there......this was taken in July (2007) during a week with our friends in Bermuda. Kayce and I were tooling around on our scooters on a beautiful Saturday morning and came across ernest s. painting the roof of this house in pembroke parish, also known as the 'north shore'. i struck up a nice dialog with ernest and learned a little about him - he drives a cab on the island when the work is available, and he paints roofs to fill in the gaps. i emailed him a copy of this image and a couple of others that turned out nicely....but haven't heard back.

I love the way the white of the roof and ernest's clothes blend in with the clouds, and the blue house with the sky. it's almost as if he's painting in the clouds.
