Meta-documentation / Alabama Public TV at the Folger Shakepeare Library

I recently was assigned to document the making of a "Discover Shakespeare: Live Electronic Field Trip" segment produced by Alabama Public Television for the Folger Shakespeare Library's magazine.

Art about art about art... mirrors within mirrors, among other things.

These images are my selection of the process.

The Bard's legacy transforms, and continues.

American Investigations | DC people and buildings

A few images from around Washington DC.

I have often particularly enjoyed seeing the Big Chair Chess Club house on Sheriff Road Northeast. "Always Think B4U Move!"

DC ain't just all monuments and loudmouth politicos... thank goodness.

Thanks to Milton, pictured, for the conversation.

Medical and Biological Research Engineers

Portraits made largely in-camera (through multiple exposures) while covering a meeting of AIMBE, the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.

These are exceptionally brilliant, disciplined, and creative science and engineering researchers. Being around them elevates my thinking... Their work powerfully enhances our lives.

Tech note: Some post-producton work was done on a few of these images; most are essentially the same as they came out of the camera.
