Portfolio
Landscape Photography: .
There are so many places to go , so many things to see. I haven't begun to scratch the surface yet. But I'm trying. I challenge my self as often as I have time to get out and find a new location, a new place to explore and learn about. I'm not just shooting the photo, I'm trying to also understand more about the places and things I see, and I want to share that as well.
Framing and timing
Framing and timing can be key aspects of the craft with the aim of some street photography being to create images at a decisive or poignant moment. Street photography can focus on emotions displayed, thereby also recording people's history from an emotional point of view.
A Look Into Documenting Street Fashion Photography
HB Nam is an internationally known street fashion photographer. In this Leica Camera Portrait, Nam explains how he started in photography and what photography means to him. For Nam, it's about documenting what's around him and the concentration required to achieve a good shot.
Suspension Bridges - Design Technology
Suspension bridges in their simplest form were originally made from rope and wood.
Modern suspension bridges use a box section roadway supported by high tensile
strength cables.
In the early nineteenth century, suspension bridges used iron chains for cables. The
high tensile cables used in most modern suspension
bridges were introduced in the late nineteenth century.
Today, the cables are made of thousands of individual steel wires bound tightly
together. Steel, which is very strong under tension, is
an ideal material for cables; a single steel wire, only 0.1 inch thick, can support
over half a ton without breaking.
Light, and strong, suspension bridges can span distances from 2,000 to 7,000 feet far longer than any other kind of bridge. They are ideal for covering busy waterways.
With any bridge project the choice of materials and form usually comes down to cost. Suspension bridges tend to be the most expensive to build. A suspension bridge suspends the roadway from huge main cables, which extend from one end of the bridge to the other. These cables rest on top of high towers and have to be securely anchored into the bank at either end of the bridge. The towers enable the main cables to be draped over long distances. Most of the weight or load of the bridge is transferred by the cables to the anchorage systems. These are imbedded in either solid rock or huge concrete blocks. Inside the anchorages, the cables are spread over a large area to evenly distribute the load and to prevent the cables from breaking free.
The Arthashastra of Kautilya mentions the construction of dams and bridges.A Mauryan bridge near Girnar was surveyed by James Princep. The bridge was swept away during a flood, and later repaired by Puspagupta, the chief architect of emperor Chandragupta I. The bridge also fell under the care of the Yavana Tushaspa, and the Satrap Rudra Daman. The use of stronger bridges using plaited bamboo and iron chain was visible in India by about the 4th century. A number of bridges, both for military and commercial purposes, were constructed by the Mughal administration in India.

I've worked with Greg for many years, and am very impressed with him. He has an amazing skill at breaking down tasks and producing great results At IncentiveNetworks we created a platform that was highly customized and Greg had to bridge the gap between software development and the demands from large corporate customers on the UI. He was able to produce amazing work, on time and with high quality. I look forward to working with him again in the future

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Greg numerous times on a variety of projects and expect I will be working with him again. He is great at creating and executing modern designs that work well on the spectrum of devices and screens available. He makes excellent use of client-facing frameworks to speed development, minimize code and optimize presentation. Greg is also a great person, listens well and knows how to work under straightforward as well as intense, pressured project conditions.

My Interests
My interest vary widely, but if pressed for my favorites, I would have to say the below are at the top of my list. I'm a creative at heart, and much of how I spend my time is trying to find new ways at being creative. Whether it is hiking to a remote location to get a photo I imagined, or pulling out the wood working tools to build a piece of furniture to opening up the laptop and putting some code down for a new website design. It all seems to follow a creative vein.
