This series of works has been a long term career project. Started with the emergence of technologies like desktop computing, digital imaging/photography and 3D imaging around 1989. An animator by schooling, I was fascinated with the 3D worlds created by the early Pixar films and wanted to learn how to create my own images.

A Macintosh computer owner since early 1984, I saw the convergence of computing and photography approaching. In my role with Kodak's Consumer Electronics Advanced Development Group, I was encouraged to purchase new imaging technologies and report on them as an end user. That included film and print scanners, color printers, film recorders, and many, many imaging software products.

In early 1989, I purchased a Barneyscan 35mm film scanner, which came with a software package called BarneyscanXP. This software not only allowed you to digitize your 35mm slides into your computer, it also had a myriad of image editing tools. This was a game changer for computing/digital photography. That early piece of software would become known as Adobe Photoshop in 1990. I tried to convince Kodak that digital photography on the desktop was just going to explode.

At the January MacWorld conference that year, one of my marketing colleagues snagged a copy of a new 3D modeling and rendering software called Stratavision3D, which he gave to me to review (ie. play with). I could now create 3D objects to insert into photographs. However, over time the photographs have become objects within the 3D worlds I create. This show is a selection of what I consider my best efforts in the realm of 3D. All the images were created with 3D Lenticular transparency output as the end product and many have already been printed.
