hmmm, i found the thumbnail not very thrilling - but looking at it now in bigger format, it`s really fascinating - the gray scales and textures, even in the highlights, plus the nice composition - cool work...

Thanks. I try and remember to preview my images in a thumbnail size before uploading them, just so I'm not surprised by the difference in appearance or impression down that small.
Interestingly, I often run across thumbnails or other work that look fascinating, only to be disappointed when I see the Full View of the image.

Reminds me, very distantly of a story by arthur c clarke.

Really? Which story? (I think I've read most all of his work over the years.)

I think the short story was "the wind of the sun" where they race spaceships in a slingshot motion around some planet, taking advantage of the way the sun is hitting their shields and the realization that if something were to happen they might not have enough fuel to turn back. More complicated than the previous few words, but with the title u might have enough to go on further

Hmm... it doesn't ring a bell off the top of my head, but my memory is not what it used to be. I'll have to look it up...
Thanks!

love your paper series - is any of it modeled with real paper or is it entirely virtual?

Glad you find the images interesting.
No, not virtual. They are all entirely actual paper, lit with actual light.

wow, no WOW!. Do you then slice and dice in photoshop or similar or are the images as the camera captures them?
Some lovely paper textures btw, would love to fold some of them, where do you get your paper?

Some slicing is done with x-acto, scissors or shredder before the shots are taken. Then on many of them I also do some compositing and cutting in Photoshop.
As for the paper, I get it at a local crafts store. It's nothing special, just a variety of colors and finishes to chose from.
