Girls They Come, Girls They Go in Blur

Fog Makes an Appearance at the Amusement Park



No:  My camera is not broken! 

Unfamiliar with this special-effects technique?  Called by several different names, "blur technique" or "blur" is deliberately blurred.  I use blur and other "special effects" to obscure identity and to make a dreamy or day dream perspective for the viewer, however; the viewer does not and should not strain to see what cannot be seen in these images and that is, individual details. 

You have the impression similar to a painting or a watercolor technique that represents the image with haze or fuzz or blur.  Art photography is different than conventional photography because it combines two or more types of art forms, photography and painting like aspects are seen in these images.  The blur creates the impression of an abstract painting. 

Stayed tuned for additional development at this site and elsewhere.  Thank you for your interest in this leading edge, hybrid photography!  Follow me on Twitter and Facebook (access is available on this site) as well.  

Back to the Future



Photographed a zillion times, the beach at Coney Island, that much may be true, however, there is no overdoing it when it comes to being there. The joy it brings to be in Coney Island on the beach, a place of color and lights and magical memories from the past and great images of the present. Beach umbrellas, color everywhere, blue sky, the whole nine yards.


Yes, photographers have been filming and documenting the beach since cameras were invented no doubt, and this series spotlights a continuing analysis, exploration and photographic documentation of the beach that has been underway in several different areas for the past few years. During this time, I have developed extensive Boardwalk, Astroland Amusement Park, Luna Park, Deno's Amusement Park and Fireworks Photographic Series.
