These photographs were all taken with my SLR camera. Some actually belong in the "Savannah - Older" gallery, but I've placed them here since that gallery was made a few years ago.

The black-and-white photographs were taken with Kodak film and developed by me in a dark room using Ilford photo paper. The color photos (with the except of the hand-colored) were digitally developed by Seattle FilmWorks (now PhotoWorks).

We had this kitty since I was about three years old; she was a kitten when she decided to adopt us. No specific type of cat, just a beautiful gray and white queen with lovely yellow-green eyes. She was around twelve when this picture was taken, and it was before she had to get a cancerous tumor removed. I was taking a beginning photography class at the time, and I printed it rather poorly. Until I touched it up with Photoshop, it was horribly gray and dusty. — Fall 1999

Taken for the same class as above. This one had better contrast, but even more dust and hairs to clean up in Photoshop. Our late yorkie, Pippin, had a male Hobbit name despite being a girl, as well as floppy ears despite being purebred. But who cares when they're sweet and cute? — Early 2000

A Coca-Cola glass lying in a bed of ivy. I believe the assignment involved shooting glass, or shooting objects out of their familiar settings; I can't quite remember. Trivia: the ivy is actually a small bed surrounding a support pillar on my back porch — Early 2000

This is a silver set inherited by my mother, side-lit by a window, and it's my absolute favorite of my own photos. I once sold a print to a classmate. I believe this was scanned from the original print, which had some contrast issues. — Early 2000

A beautiful wrought-iron porch off of Savannah's Monterey Square. The house neighbors the (in)famous Mercer House. This was scanned from the negative for a digital cleanup assignment. — Early 2000

A wrought-iron staircase, also in Savannah. The shadows of the bars along the steps caught my eye. The print now hangs over my bed. — Early 2000

I'm not sure what a plush Panda mascot had to do with a Savannah AIDS march. It confused me enough to chase the panda and catch a picture. Hand-tinted with photo oils. — Early 2000

A tugboat guiding a larger ship through the Savannah River. The print didn't turn out very good. I had to burn the overly-light sky and ended up losing much of the tugboat against the equally dark ship, which loses its light areas against an equally light hotel. — Early 2000

I shot this on a hospital parking garage as part of an architecture photo assignment. I thought the extinguisher box looked better open since it was just a blank boxy space when shut. This is actually scanned directly from the negative, not from a print. — Early 2002

An elegant porch along the Kehoe House bed and breakfast in Savannah, GA. It used to be a funeral parlour. — Early 2000

Another just-for-fun shot, this time of an iron bridge and an ivy-covered archway over Factor's Walk. Factor's Walk is along the Savannah River. — Early 2000

Naturally-lit interior of the Gryphon Tea Room in Savannah, GA, owned by the Savannah College of Art and Design. It has since been remodeled. I used this shot on my mainpage for a long time. — Early 2000
