Creating
life on paper by painting a pet
portrait and sharing it with others is a gift I have been blessed
with and I cherish immensely. Also, capturing a moment in time on
film, provides countless hours of viewing pleasure and reliving
that one precise moment when one was lucky enough to be there. Please
take a moment and sit back, relax and enjoy a sampling of my paintings
and photography. |
Although not viewed by all photographers as true photography,
digital photography in fact meets all requirements to be called
such. Even though there are no chemical processes, a digital camera
captures a frame of whatever it happens to be pointed at, which
can be viewed later. In 10 years, digital point and shoot cameras
have become widespread consumer products. These digital cameras
now outsell film cameras, and many include features not found
in film cameras such as the ability to shoot video and record
audio.
Kodak announced in January 2004 that it would no longer produce
reloadable 35mm cameras after the end of that year. This was
interpreted as a sign of the end of film photography. However,
Kodak was at that time a minor player on the reloadable film
cameras market. In January 2006 Nikon followed suit and announced
that they will stop the production of all but two models of
their film cameras, they will continue to produce the low-end
Nikon FM10, and the high-end Nikon F6. On May 25, 2006 Canon
announced they will stop developing new film SLR cameras.[1]
The price of 35mm and APS compact cameras have dropped, probably
due to direct competition from digital and the resulting growth
of the offer of second-hand film cameras.
