Creating digital images
from photographic stills is one of the most exciting as well as novel
concepts there is in this ever changing field. While simply taking photographs
is rewarding, revamping them into digital art can be much more interesting
and difficult because the final presentation must allow the viewer to
believe in it even though it is fiction.
The process begins by selecting
an interesting place to photograph and then creating that photo so that
it lends itself to become something even better. This first part is
harder than taking photos of nice places since you must visualize a
final product that will be very different than the original photo. I
have formed partnerships with graphic designes to accomplish this goal
and together we will use programs such as Bryce3D, PhotoShop, and Kai's
Power Tools. This process can sometimes take several months to get the
result that we are looking for.

do not need an explanation since they alone should provide the audience
with a story".
