The aesthetic of images has changed over time (going from darker to lighter backgrounds) as well as the language and logistics of shooting and printing (35mm to dpi and RBG to CMYK, for example). I like shooting my own work because I know the most “photogenic” angles and can translate some of my aesthetic ideas into the image.

To my eye you seem to have the same style but I see the refinement and cleaner and more flowiing lines, beautiful work.

We have been making postcards almost every year since grad school as well. This transition from film/transparency to digital has been very interesting. I feel like I am only now starting to achieve the lighting and color response that I was striving for at Utah State. When I look back at some of those early cards, it is amazing to see what worked and what has evolved.

Also wanted to let you know I love your new website/blog layout. Very cool. I think this is definitely the future… an ongoing evolving website that is not static.

Good luck
