The term “photoportal” is used in several different ways by technologists, artists, and businesses. I use it to describe one of the focuses of my photography. This is a first pass at describing the different ideas about portals and photography so that I can place my work in the general context. In business, the term…

I photographed it for the World Wide Panorama (WWP) theme of “Resilience.” Though the bridge no longer sits in its original location and is no longer used for vehicle traffic, it remains a classic example of covered bridge architecture. Covered bridges were designed with roofs…

This photograph of a flower was taken in a local rose garden. Like many such photos, it’s been enhanced to show aspects of the flower that, although they were subtle, still jumped out at me enough to want to share them.
