Profile
My interest in photography started in high school, where I shot BW photos for the Punahou School newspaper and year book. There were no computers and we did all our own darkroom work (developing film and printing images). My camera then and for many years after was a 1960s vintage Nikkormat SLR.
I moved to digital in 2002, and now have a couple cameras and photo printers. Digital photography is liberating, and has greatly changed the way I use photography to document and explore the world.
Generative and Fractal Art
I think of my mathematical and computer graphic work as primarily photographic in nature. In particular, images of the Mandelbrot set (and other fractals) are like windows looking in on fantastic island worlds, which have real and fixed (although infinitely deep) geographies.
