Digital Photography

Digital photography has come a long way since we first used a prototype Kodak DC-50 in 1995. Since then I've shot digital pix on assignments in Ecuador, Mali, Vietnam, Cuba, Chile, Argentina, Tahiti and Bora Bora, Baja California, and in the United States. Most of these early assignments were done with the "point-and-shoot" consumer level digital cameras, like the Kodak DC-265 and the Nikon CoolPix 950.

But in the past few years digital SLR cameras have become affordable and widespread. Single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras permit interchangeable lenses, depth-of-field control, and the other features of professional photography. More recent projects were shot with Canon SLRs, primarily the Canon D30 (3.1 megapixels) and the Canon 20D (8.1 MP).

YAHOO! MEDIA GROUP
In the heyday of YMG, we were brought in to create an international travel project, Richard Bangs Adventures. We delivered dispatches, photo galleries, streaming video and podcasts on 8 destinations, from the North Face of the Eiger to the mountain gorillas of Rwanda to the religions of Macedonia (pops up new window).

FIRST AND BEST
Picking up where MSNBC left off, MSN.com ran a series of travel features with robust media, Flash navigation and daily updates from the field. I was correspondent and digital photographer on two of these, for Stars of Texas and for California's Best Beaches.

GREAT ESCAPES
The online version of the news channel MSNBC ran a series of digital journeys or "road trips" sponsored by such companies as HP and Ford. My role was senior Web producer for several of these projects, and on Great Escape Texas I served as digital photographer.

WELL-TRAVELED
For Slate.com's travel series, I worked as field producer and digital photographer on six trips to destinations including Paris, Scandinavia, Costa Rica, and Mississippi. See the full list of destinations.

SLIDESHOWS
Slide shows, or photo galleries, are a common interactive way of presenting images on the Web. I've done a few, many for Slate (see above) and several other clients, as well as for personal interest. See slideshows here.
DIGITAL VIDEO
It's a small step from digital photography to digital video. Again, ever-improving technology has raised the bar on acceptable, and attainable, online videos. View videos here.
ALLIES IN ADVENTURE
Whether field production or corporate publishing, the online medium is a collective effort. View compatriots here.
