The nourishment which beauty gives to the soul is essential for the development of Renaissance Personhood. This beauty is pursued through the arts, and requires the pursuit of only the most excellent and uplifting expressions. Only to the extent that the arts awaken the awareness of human suffering and thus the burning desire to alleviate it, may this rule be broken. All forms of art that seek to debase both art and human dignity are inimical to the development of the spirit.

My professional web site, with prints of photography, fractals, abstracts, and digital landscapes for sale, and my web design business, is here: Extraplicity.

My most recent work is usually posted here first: deviantART. When I have time, I will be putting more of this work in this gallery.

This is a collection of photographs of scenery, plants, and animals, as well as digital landscapes and fractals. The digital landscapes are made with Terragen, Bryce, and Vue d'Esprit. The fractals are made with Ultrafractal and Xenodream. I also have images made with Paint Shop Pro. There are more photos on Maribeth's page, the music page, and the martial arts page.

Since many of these photographs were taken in the southwestern United States, I thought some Spanish guitar music would be appropriate. Would you like to listen to Asturias by Isaac Albeniz? This beautiful midi file is courtesy of guitarist David Lovell.

Flickr also has some of my more recent work.

Art Wanted includes many of my more recent fractal images.

The camera with which most of these photos were made is a Pentax ZX-M, or a Pentax SP1, with a 50mm Pentax lens, a 75-200mm Pentax zoom lens, a Sigma 600mm mirror lens, a Tamron 90mm macro lens, Promaster 100-500mm zoom, and a Sears 28mm wide angle lens. I also have assorted filters, mostly Cokin. Most of the time, I used Fujicolor 400.

Later pictures, which I will be adding, were made either with a Pentax K100D or a K10D. I also have acquired some additional lenses. The major new lens is a 650-1300mm zoom, about which I know very little because it was sold under three brand names, and I don't know who makes it.

Please note: right-clicking on thumbnails does NOT work. Left-clicking automatically opens a new window. The thumbnails stay loaded on your browser for quick response. Clicking on either the corner x or the up arrow automatically closes the extra window. Your browser must be javascript enabled for you to view the large photos.
