Photography is a way for me to slow down and observe the world around me. My "commute-work-eat-work-commute-eat--sleep-repeat" daily life needs diversions... For me, photography & digital design is a great departure from the everyday pandemonium I willingly experience.

When completing my Masters Degree for Instructional Technology (2001), I was introduced to the world of Photoshop (version 6.0). Since then I have found the marriage of the creative with the technical to be very enticing. Several folks are opposed with the idea of manipulating photographs with software... They fear the true art form is being lost. While I applaud the goal of getting it right "in camera", I think differently. I embrace the digital edge Photoshop and other technologies bring to the table. I consider the photographer's tool belt more equipped... Enabling the designer to stretch their inventiveness...

I attempt to post a few photographs and/or designs weekly as I constantly feed my technology hunger... On occasion I will update site templates and images to keep things looking new. But as we all know there will be days and weeks where photography needs to take a back seat to other higher priorities...




I shoot a Canon EOS 5D full frame d-SLR (soon to be 5D Mk II) with the following lens: Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L, Canon 100-400mm f/4L, Canon 50mm f/1.2L.

I shoot strictly in camera RAW and Photoshop CS4 is used for all post processing work while Dreamweaver 8.x is used to build this site and the other slemak.com affiliated sites. I have also used Lightroom and Photomatix on occasion.
