The Gallery List

Here are descriptions of all the photographs I've placed in the gallery to date. The titles at the beginning of the list marked with a "**" are the most recent works posted.
You can load a full screen (768x1024) JPEG of a particular work by clicking on its thumbnail image. There are also pages of ganged clickable thumbnails; scroll to the bottom of this page and click on the links there.
There's a good reason why these JPEG's are so large-- these are extremely high quality renditions of very high quality photographs. Files this large were the only way I could convey something of the quality of the originals. Trust me-- the thumbnails don't do the work justice. I've included them for your browsing convenience; I'd be distraught if it turned out that they dissuade people from viewing the real goods.

The Price List contains titles and prices for all the works currently in the Gallery.

"How to View the Gallery Images" lists my recommended JPEG viewers and describes techniques for the getting the best rendition of these images on your computer monitor.

If you find yourself in my home town, or I in yours, you can see any of these fine prints for real. Read "How to See the Original Prints" for details.

For a complete list of the titles (sans detailed descriptions) of all the work in my dye transfer portfolio see "My Portfolio".

Macbeth Chart
This is a calibration image. It began as a photograph of a Kodak grey scale, Kodak color control patches and a Macbeth ColorChecker(tm) Chart, but I've adjusted the colors so they are better than photographic-- this is now a very close match to the original chart.
Import this image into your image-processing program of choice and adjust it so that the chart on your screen looks as much like a real ColorChecker as possible. Apply those same adjustments to the other images you download, and you'll be very close to what I see on my screen and to what the original dye transfer prints actually look like. (83K JPEG)

Framed Print
All prints are on the finest quality double-weight paper and have at least 1" of white paper around the image area; most edges have more. They are signed under the image area. Should you choose to purchase a framed print, this illustrates what you'd get. All materials in contact with the print are archival and the print is not dry-mounted, but corner-taped to the matte. The glazing is acrylic, which can't shatter in shipping. If you wish to replace it with picture glass, be my guest.
The print shown, "Painted Dunes and Fantastic Lava Beds, Lassen Volcanic Park CA - 1985" is available for purchase. This is only a photograph of a photograph, so the screen image doesn't look as much like the original as the others in the gallery. (162K JPEG)
Dye transfer print image area: 15" wide by 19" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.

My Portfolios
I've published these as hand-bound books or boxed sets, each plate hand-printed and signed by me. These sumptuous volumes are limited to numbered editions of 100 copies, and I am offering them at the price of $895 plus shipping. For a full description of these most special works, accompanied by many detailed photographs of the books, go to my "monographs" page.

The Collaborations of Laurie Toby Edison and Ctein

This project represent a significant departure for both Laurie and me from our usual art. It's the first time either of us has worked with another photographer. Further (unlike our solo photographs) these collaborations are produced in very limited numbers. Editions run from 11 to 24, at prices currently ranging from $950 to $1,600. These prices rise substantially as we sell into an edition and are subject to change without notice.

Laurie and I have reproduced all 18 pieces in a hand-bound monograph, hand-printed by me and signed by both of us. This sumptuous volume is limited to a numbered edition of 100 copies, and we are offering it at an initial price of $495 plus shipping. For a full description of this most special work, accompanied by many detailed photographs of the actual book, jump to my "Collaboration Portfolio" page.

(117K JPEG)

	Crater Lake -- 1990 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (117K JPEG) ~ edition of 24 ~ Crater Lake, shortly after a summer thunderstorm, glows in the light reflected from receding storm clouds, the focus of Laurie's photograph. Ctein's print holds the way rain brings out delicate bands of soft reds and greens in the walls of the crater. 25" wide by 13" high, framed. $950 (as of posting date)
	Mt. St. Helens -- 1990 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (83K JPEG) ~ edition of 11 ~ A plume of steam drifts from Mt. St. Helens, seen through a stand of bare trees that were stripped by the blast from the volcano. Blues dominate the panoramic dye transfer print, which is flanked by two B&W prints by Laurie. 44" wide by 14" high, framed. $1,800 (as of posting date)
	Craters of the Moon Hills -- 1984 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (117K JPEG) ~ edition of 24 ~ Virtually identical in composition, yet vastly different in emphasis, these two photographs of the lava and cinder hills were made only minutes apart from almost the same location. Neither Ctein nor Laurie realized what the other had done until they compared prints years later. 25" wide by 14" high, framed. $950 (as of posting date)
	Roses -- 1990 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (81K JPEG) ~ edition of 24 ~ This is the work that inspired Ctein and Laurie to undertake the collaboration project. In Ctein's interpretation of the subject, roses in yellows, oranges and pinks, with silvery green leaves, are set against a deep blue-black stone wall by strong colors but subtle contrast. Laurie's photograph emphasizes the deeply textured blocks of stone, lifting the roses to a near-white by contrast. 16" wide by 26" high, framed. $950 (as of posting date)
	Spirit Lake -- 1990 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (79K JPEG) ~ edition of 11 ~ This large triptych places one of Laurie's silver gelatin prints (on the left) against two of Ctein's dye transfers. All three photographs direct attention to the contrast between the brilliant, sunlit lake and the dark, muddy shoreline. Monochrome tones dominate all three photographs. 32" wide by 27" high, framed. $1,500 (as of posting date)
	Monterey Kelp -- 1990 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (89K JPEG) ~ edition of 24 ~ The blue-greens and yellows of Ctein's photograph call attention to the complex play of light off of the kelp, with the water presenting a serene background. Laurie's focuses on the pattern of light on water, making the kelp as a secondary note. This is also a rare self-portrait in silhouette of the photographers. 15" wide by 25" high, framed. $950 (as of posting date)
	Badlands Gullies -- 1984 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (140K JPEG) ~ edition of 24 ~ Pale green scrub dots the yellow and ochre strata of the badlands. Laurie's photograph illustrates the delicate tones of the deepest shielded gullies. In contrast, Ctein portrays strong, sunlit walls punctuated by inky black shadows. 23" wide by 15" high, framed. $950 (as of posting date)
	High Tension Lines -- 1991 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (165K JPEG) ~ edition of 24 ~ Laurie's formal composition interprets the tower and cables as a regular network of dark lines against a pale sky. Ctein's dye transfer print contrasts steel grey and rust red beams against an intense deep blue sky. Insulators create counterpoints of tone, shape, and strong color. 26" wide by 16" high, framed. $950 (as of posting date)
	Cannery and Cormorants -- 1990 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (135K JPEG) ~ edition of 24 ~ Laurie's photograph focuses on the relationship between the abandoned cannery and Monterey Bay, with the cannery's harsh lines reflected as delicate rippling blurs in the Bay. The cormorants, barely visible in Laurie's silver-gelatin print, are at the heart of Ctein's dye transfer, their dark rounded forms in stark contrast to the angular pale-blue-grays and browns of the girders and corrugated panels. 25" wide by 16" high, framed. $950 (as of posting date)
	Scorched Foundation -- 1992 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (90K JPEG) ~ edition of 24 ~ This work demonstrates better than any other the different realities of color and B&W. Ctein's dye transfer print portrays a muted rainbow of reds, oranges, greens and blues in the discolored concrete. Laurie's harsh silver-gelatin print emphasizes the scorch marks and directs our attention to the desolation created by fire. 16" wide by 24" high, framed. $950 (as of posting date)
	Three Trees -- 1991 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (97K JPEG) ~ edition of 18 ~ Laurie's photograph concentrates on the dark bare limbs of the trees; the surroundings are reduced to a pale backdrop for them. Ctein's print is about brilliant bands of color -- aqua, cyan, russet, yellow and green; here, the trees and fence are just the textural counterpoint. 38" wide by 14" high, framed. $1,050 (as of posting date)
	Monterey Aquarium Tank -- 1990 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (85K JPEG) ~ edition of 24 ~ Light penetrating water is the theme of both photographs. The B&W photograph renders a ghostly curtain of sunlight that almost obscures the delicate shapes and tone of the kelp fronds. The color photograph explores how this curtain illuminates water, kelp and schools of fish in contrasty blues, greens, and orange-yellows. 17" wide by 22" high, framed. $950 (as of posting date)
	Lake Shasta Houseboats -- 1991 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (106K JPEG) ~ edition of 24 ~ Ctein's dye transfer print centers on the sinuous, ruddy curves of the lake shoreline and road grading in contrast with the soft greens and blues of the water and forest, accented by the houseboat docks. Laurie's B&W print balances the bright, angular forms of human habitation against a darker, more distant shoreline. 28" wide by 15" high, framed. $950 (as of posting date)
	Reactor Cooling Tower -- 1992 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (85K JPEG) ~ edition of 18 ~ The reactor tower almost blends into a stark, black landscape in Laurie's B&W photograph, the steam plume a dark mirroring of the cumulus clouds in the sky. Ctein's two dye transfer print flank Laurie's; they show the aircraft warning lights bathing the tower and plume in brilliant hellish red and orange hues, standing out against deep blue-purple clouds. 35" wide by 15" high, framed. $1,250 (as of posting date)
	Burnt Trees and Poppies -- 1992 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (144K JPEG) ~ edition of 24 ~ In the aftermath of the Oakland Hills fire, Laurie's B&W photograph emphasizes the dead burnt trees, dark against a pale gray sky. Ctein's color photograph focuses on new growth-- brilliant orange California poppies and fresh, bright green grass below the dead trees. 27" wide by 15" high, framed. $950 (as of posting date)
	Heat-Cracked Tiles -- 1992 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (121K JPEG) ~ edition of 24 ~ Ctein's composition uses orange-tans and grays to contrast intact tiles with missing ones. Laurie's B&W photograph emphasizes the difference in texture and tone between the tiles and the underlying cement with strong and harsh tones. 26" wide by 16" high, framed. $950 (as of posting date)
	Mt. Shasta -- 1991 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (93K JPEG) ~ edition of 24 ~ Mt. Shasta floats, Kilimanjaro-like, over the grasslands of Northern California, barely visible as a ghostly gray in Laurie's silver-gelatin print. Delicate, mirage-like blue dominates Ctein's dye transfer, above dark green and yellow scrub. 28" wide by 15" high, framed. $950 (as of posting date)
	Obelisk -- 1992 (by Laurie Toby Edison & Ctein) (122K JPEG) ~ edition of 24 ~ Two sides of the same stone monument, both photographs contrasting it to the surrounding palm fronds, but in very different ways. Laurie's print places the obelisk in the foreground while rendering both as sunny, light gray against inky shadows; texture separates the subjects. Ctein's dye transfer submerges the obelisk in cool, blue-gray shadow, dominated by bright and saturated yellow and green fronds. 26" wide by 15" high, framed. $950 (as of posting date)

Jewels of Kilauea-- the fascinating and colorful lava of the southern Big Island of Hawai'i.

The following eleven photographs are from a brand new series with the working title "Jewels of Kilauea." This new project has me very excited; when it is complete I expect it to turn it into a book. See the comments below and my What's New page for more details about this project.

The question I'm asked most often about this work is whether or not the colors are real; some viewers have wondered if they were somehow created by me. The answer is that the colors and tones in the following photographs are entirely natural. They are not the result of special photographic tricks. I made all the photographs with natural lighting, and I didn't use any special filters to create or enhance the existing color.

In truth, the 'black' pahoehoe lava flows of Kilauea are anything but dull and monochrome!

The subjects of these photographs range in size from several feet across down to one inch.


	Iridescent Banded Pahoehoe, Mauna Ulu HI -- 2000 Bands of yellow, salmon and cool blue wash across this patch of veined lava. Fractal-like black and yellow contrasting cracks texture the surface. (223K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 10" wide by 7.5" high. $340 unframed, $430 framed.
	Iridescent Pahoehoe, Kilauea HI -- 2000 A fragment of lava flashes with intricate patterns of intense, deep blue and hot yellow-orange, against a background of dark pahoehoe reminiscent of boiling thunderclouds.

	'Fiery' Pahoehoe, Kilauea HI -- 2000 Brilliant rust-red banding on these cold boulders creates the impression of glowing molten lava under a cooling gray-black mantle. (216K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 9.5" wide by 7.5" high. $340 unframed, $430 framed.

	Weathered Pahoehoe Folds, Kilauea HI -- 2000 Yellow, white, and sky-blue clays speckle these dirt-red folds in old pahoehoe, reminiscent of fossilized ribs. (281K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 9.5" wide by 8" high. $340 unframed, $430 framed.
	Red Spatters, Kilauea HI -- 2000 Leaden spatter bombs of lava, laced with red highlights and brick-orange 'heads.' Iron compounds create the look of fiery meteors plunging downward. (137K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 7" wide by 10" high. $340 unframed, $430 framed.
	Bright Folds in Black Pahoehoe, Kilauea HI -- 2000 Isolated brilliant folds in iridescent yellows and blues appear spot lit against a field of inky black lava starred with isolated bits of bright colors. The feeling conveyed is of some nocturnal undersea bed. (109K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 8" wide by 9.5" high. $340 unframed, $430 framed.

	Pearly Pahoehoe, Kilauea HI -- 2000 Shiny pale blue coils and swirls of lava glisten with opalescent pinks and yellows, against a background of dark, pumicelike rocks spotted with blacks and dull reds . The resemblance to colorful abalone shell is astonishing. (219K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 9.5" wide by 7.5" high. $340 unframed, $430 framed.
	Triangular Shard, Kilauea HI -- 2000 Brilliant fragments of pahoehoe are scattered like jewels on dark, multicolored, frothy pebbles. Intense blues and pale yellows dominate, accented by metal-bright, cherry-red bubbles. It's hard to believe this is merely lava. (142K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 7.5" wide by 10" high. $340 unframed, $430 framed.
	Blue and Yellow Lava, Spatter Ramparts, Kilauea HI -- 2000 Blue stone shimmers with a colorful 'oily' sheen, embedded in a frozen froth of yellow lava. (135K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 8" wide by 9" high. $340 unframed, $430 framed.
	Iridescent Vesicles, Spatter Ramparts, Kilauea HI -- 2000 A broken shard of pahoehoe revels metallic, brilliant hues of red, yellow, and blue on the exposed gas bubble walls. The black surface is patterned with a salamander-skin-like pattern in gold, white, and orange. (123K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 7.5" wide by 9.5" high. $340 unframed, $430 framed.

	Yellowed Pahoehoe Surface, Kilauea HI -- 2000 The brilliant yellow "salamander skin" pattern on this black pahoehoe surface contrasts with patches of deep, iridescent blue. (223K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 7.5" wide by 9.5" high. $340 unframed, $430 framed.

	Mindanao Gum Tree, Honolulu HI -- 2000 The very unusual and colorful bark of this tree looks like peeling layers of bright paint. A rainbow mix of red, blue, green and yellow curls, stripes and patches. (152K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 14" wide by 19" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.
	Apollo-Soyuz at Dusk, Cape Canaveral FL -- 1975 This image shows the floodlit launch complex in stark relief in shades of red, white, grey, yellow and electric green. The backdrop for this is a soft, dark grey-purple sky with clouds. (253K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 18.5" wide by 15" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed. Epson 2200 print image area: 14" wide by 11" high. $125 unframed.
	Burney Creek Below Burney Falls, Shasta County CA -- 1985 Yellow and green autumn grasses mirror the sweep and form of the deep blue and white rapids as they tumble over the dark brown rocks. This image conveys a strong sense of horizontal movement. (222K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 15" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.
	Columbia at Dusk, Cape Canaveral -- 1981 The first space shuttle glows a cold, brilliant white in the light of the floodlights, set against the spectacular backdrop of a dusky blue sky and fiery red clouds. (182K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 15" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed. Epson 2200 print image area: 14" wide by 11" high. $125 unframed.

	Crepuscular Rays, Clear Lake CA -- 1992 Another wonderful image that can only be rendered in a dye transfer print. Pink crepuscular rays streak a sunset sky that varies from purple and deep royal blue through cyan to hot orange, striped with glowing fiery clouds (the screen image doesn't do this one justice). The sky is mirrored in the waters of the lake, transformed into a pattern of delicate multicolored ripples. (167K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 15" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.

	Moon and Fireworks, Vancouver EXPO -- 1986 This strikingly surreal and colorful image looks like a computer-generated composite, but it's entirely real. Hot pink fireworks fill half the dark green-black sky with incredibly delicate tracery. A full moon hangs in the sky over the geodesic roof of the entrance to the 1986 World's Fair. (289K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 13" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.

	Moonrise at Dawn over Haleakala, Maui -- 1986 Photographed from the summit of Haleakala, a very thin crescent moon hangs in a brilliant blue dawn sky, just above the wisps of pale yellow fog, all above a purple and blue cloud deck. A very popular image. (111K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 13.5" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.

	Total Eclipse Coronal Streamers, Cabo Pulmo Mexico -- 1991 This is, without question, one of the finest images of a solar eclipse ever made. Set in a dusky and dark blue sky, the full extent of the corona is visible out to four or more solar radii. The delicate nature of the corona is preserved in the fine inner detail, all the way in to the pale pink prominences just barely visible near the silhouette of the moon. This screen image simply convey the fine tracery in the corona and subtle detail present in the real print. (111K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 15" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed. Epson 2200 print image area: 14" wide by 11" high. $125 unframed.
	Albino Bullfrog, Steinhart Aquarium, S.F. -- 1977 This red-eyed, white-yellow-skinned bullfrog wears perhaps the sappiest grin in the animal kingdom. It made me smile enough to produce this "formal" portrait. (129K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 10" wide by 7.5" high. $340 unframed, $430 framed.
	Assembly Bay and Gantry, Cape Canaveral -- 1975 This is one of my most popular images. It shows a Saturn assembly area inside the Vehicle Assembly Building, looking almost straight up. The brilliant, strikingly-surreal colors are a combination of the bright color scheme in which the equipment is painted and at least four different kinds of lighting in the building. (300K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 18" wide by 13" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed. Epson 2200 print image area: 14" wide by 10" high. $125 unframed.
	Bunker Davis, S.F. -- 1976 This WWII cannon bunker, located along the San Francisco coast, is abandoned, rusted and overgrown with green and red ice plant. Photographed just a minute before sunset, the grazing ruddy light creates warm orange highlights and icy blue shadows. (254K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 15" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.

	Cinder Cone, Haleakala Crater, Maui -- 1986 This is one of the many cinder cones which dot the huge caldera of Haleakala. Greys predominate, with streaks of rusty orange dappling the slopes of the cone. In the foreground, the eroded rim of the caldera stands in highlit tan and green contrast to the soft tones of the cinder cone. I made this image the same day I made "Moonrise over Haleakala." It was a good morning. (205K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 15" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.

	Cinder Cone North Trail, Lassen Volcanic Park CA -- 1985 A brilliant image in whites, blues and soot-greys of a snow-covered cinder cone. The sun shining off the textured snow makes it look like hammered metal, in a nice contrast to the wispy cirrus clouds. (206K JPEG) I climbed that trail to the top of the cone to photograph "Painted Dunes and Fantastic Lava Beds". Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 14" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.
	Floodlight Beams over Cape Canaveral -- 1975 Photographed the night before the launch of the Apollo-Soyuz mission, this photograph shows the floodlight beams from the lights used to illuminate the launch pad. The beams pass overhead; as they enter the clear air over the ocean, they seem to cut off in mid-space. A dark image in very deep blues verging on, but never quite reaching, black. (84K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 15" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.
	Forest Fire Smoke, Julian CA -- 1990 This is not some "special effect" created on film or in the darkroom-- it's real. The great forest fires in Southern California create a deep grey-brown layer of smoke high in the pale blue sky that hangs over the darkly-shadowed hills. The smoke filters the sunlight into rich golden-yellow hues reminiscent of Renaissance paintings. The fine overall grain texture contributes to the painterly effect. (102K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 12.5" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.
	"FUN", Great America Park, Santa Clara CA -- 1978 Bright reds, magentas, yellows and blues make up this strong image of a neon sign at the amusement park. The intense shadows and strong lighting make it appear three-dimensional, while the overall texture of the film grain lends a pointillistic quality. (100K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 12.5" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.

	Heceta Head Light House, OR -- 1992 This lighthouse is reputed to be the most-photographed in the world, but the beacon's reflection in the twilight waves has never been rendered this finely. Warm and cold deep blues dominate the scene, accentuating the warm yellowish glow of the light. Deep in the shadows, you will see the surf breaking over the shoreline rocks and beach. (158K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 15" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.
	Ivy on Brick Wall, George Eastman House, Rochester NY -- 1978 Curtains of autumn ivy on the brick wall of the Eastman House garage look like a waterfall in greens, browns, yellows, oranges and reds. This is precisely the kind of image which only a dye transfer print can show off well. (287K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 15" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed. 10" wide by 7.5" high. $340 unframed, $430 framed.
	Karrigan's Gravestone and Flowers, Mission Dolores, SF CA -- 1993 This image sets the muted colors and coarse texture of a tomb stone against lush and vivid red, white and magenta flowers and green foliage. The dark background and high relief give the print a three-dimensional quality. (178K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 15" wide by 19" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.
	Kelp and Seaweed at Sunset, Laguna Beach CA -- 1990 Grazing sunset light creates a strong relief in this image full of fine textures. Deep blue and pink-white sand provide the background for this found composition of green, yellow and brilliant orange seaweed. (253K JPEG) An accompanying JPEG enlarges a small section of this photograph to show the level of fine detail in the original print.

	Kelp on Wet Sand, Laguna Beach CA -- 1990 This eye-popping image shows strands of yellow and hot-orange kelp on ice-blue sand, grazed by the pink light of the setting sun. (236K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 14" wide by 9.5" high. $430 unframed, $540 framed.

	Lake Shasta Pines, CA -- 1991 The brilliant, yet realistic colors and the fine brushlike pine needles and branches give this image the look of a needlepoint. Rich greens and yellows predominate, with salmon and cyan accents. (197K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 7.5" wide by 9.5" high. $340 unframed, $430 framed.

	Lehmann Caves: Bat's View, Great Basin National Park -- 1988 This delicate but dramatic photograph shows what the eye cannot see. The cave is dimly lit by yellow lights and looks nearly monochrome to the naked eye. Skilled photography and printing restores the subtle greys, tans and oranges of the flow rock and myriad spindly stalactites and stalagmites. (205K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 15" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.
	Midnight at the VAB, Cape Canaveral FL -- 1981 I made this image of the Vehicle Assembly Building the night before the first shuttle launch. The deep green of the mercury floodlights contrasts with the yellows and oranges of the sodium and incandescent lamps, which are also reflected darkly in the yellowish sky. The "small" palm trees at the base of the VAB give a hint of its enormous size. (172K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 12" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed. Epson 2200 print image area: 14" wide by 9" high. $125 unframed.
	Minnehaha Falls Overlook, Minneapolis MN -- 1991 The falls are seen from a site overhanging the torrent. The rushing, swirling blue-grey water and white foam stand in marked contrast to the static, finely-detailed and delicate tree branches and vivid green leaves. (195K JPEG) The accompanying JPEG enlarges a small section of this photograph to show the level of fine detail in the original print. (149K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 14" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.
	Patio with Trees and Puddles, NCAR, Boulder CO -- 1982 Another of my most popular photographs. It reminds some people of Magritte, others of Escher. The red sandstone of the National Center for Atmospheric Research is muted down to a nearly neutral grey-pink by the cold overcast sky, bits of which are reflected in the puddles. The tree leaves and blades of grass are a cool green-blue. (216K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 15" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.

	Prize Frogs, Great America Park, Santa Clara CA -- 1978 Brilliant green plush frogs wearing navy blue pants. Lots of them. All with different slightly blase plush countenances. A frog mob, waiting to explode. (168K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 18.5" wide by 13.5" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.
	Red and Green Auroral Rays, Havre MT -- 1986 This spectacular image is my personal favorite. It's an unbelievably striking photograph of the aurora borealis, with long red, purple, green and white curtains shooting behind cumulus clouds, above the telephone lines of the Montana plains. Astonishing colors in a soft, almost pointillistic vein. (74K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 9" wide by 11" high. $430 unframed, $540 framed.
	Rock Falls, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone -- 1984 This wonderfully subtle image, reminiscent of a Chinese brush painting, could only have been made in dye transfer. Tans, yellows, umbers and greys paint the rocky slopes, dotted by dark green pine trees. Another of my favorites and popular with viewers. (170K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 15" wide by 18.5" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.
	Roses Against Black Stone Wall, Portland OR -- 1990 Photographs almost never are as realistic as this photograph from the Portland Rose Garden. Roses in yellows, oranges and pinks, with silvery green leaves, are set against a deep blue-black stone wall. Strong colors but subtle contrast. (287K JPEG) The accompanying JPEG enlarges a small section of this photograph to show the level of fine detail in the original print. (73K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 17.5" wide by 15" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed. 10" wide by 7.5" high. $340 unframed, $430 framed.
	Rushes and Lily Pads, N. Ontario -- 1980 Like "Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone", this image has a restful Oriental feel to it, but the lighting and color are more dramatic. Reeds are brilliantly lit by setting yellow sunlight in a pond filled with dark green lily pads and cold, dark-blue water. (152K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 15" wide by 19" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.
	Rusted Grate and Refraction, Ann Arbor -- 1972 This is an image of a three or four inch section of expanded metal screen. The blue and white squiggles come from light shining through windows glazed with rippled privacy glass. Primary colors are blue and pumpkin yellow, with some deep purple. (192K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 18.5" wide by 15" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.
	Solar One, Barstow CA -- 1982 This is a formal composition of a very surreal scene I chanced upon in the Mojave desert. When the boiler isn't operating, the computer-controlled mirrors of the Solar One power station redirect all their beams into two spots in the air on either side of the boiler tower, to avoid an accidental melt-down. Pale blue sky, and sandy tans dominate the color scheme. (141K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 15" wide by 19" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.

	SR-71 Engine Fuel Lines, Museum of Flight, Seattle WA -- 1992 Looking like a cross between a 1930's locomotive engine and a painting by H.R. Giger, this image of the side of an SR-71 jet engine is rendered in golds, bronzes and dark sooty greys. (99K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 15" wide by 18" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.

	Still Life, Steinhart Aquarium, S.F. -- 1980 This subtle and popular study in greys of various hues, with touches of browns and greens, shows the lengths that these cold-blooded creatures will go to to soak up a few rays and warm themselves. If you don't like alligators, crocodiles or turtles, skip this. Why don't the turtles get eaten? Cause the big'uns are well-fed and it's too much trouble. (245K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 15" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.

	Sunset Light on Sandstone Bridge and Surf, Laguna Beach CA -- 1990 Dark ice-blue surf rolls over dark blue sand, reflecting the orange glow lighting the sandstone outcrops and the pink-highlit lacy spray that tops the waves. (203K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 12.5" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.

	Theodore Roosevelt Lake, AZ -- 1978 Muted, pale blue and brown tones of sky and distant hills are reflected in the still waters of the reservoir. Wisps of summer rain evaporate in the hot desert air. (147K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 19" wide by 13.5" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.

	Transamerica Pyramid, S.F. -- 1976 This nighttime photograph of the Transamerica building seems to have true vanishing point perspective. The coloration in this print is both more subtle and more variegated than the monitor can convey. There are myriad delicate nuances of cyans, yellows, salmons and pinks playing over the different facets of the grey concrete facing and in the windows. (163K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 18.5" wide by 15" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.
	Two Clouds Over Butte, Arizona -- 1978 Photographed just after sunset, this image shows brooding storm clouds catching the last bit of direct sun above a dark, shadowy butte. Predominant colors are cold blues and deep browns, with bright orange-pink clouds. (163K JPEG) Dye transfer print image area: 15" wide by 19" high. $1,100 unframed, $1,275 framed.
