Production

My work is created on Fedora Core and CentOS Linux workstations featuring both AMD and Intel processors. I personally wrote most of the software used to create the subjects, and I write my codes in ANSI C, C++, Fortran 77/90, and Perl. Most images are rendered with The Radiance Synthetic Imaging System, a well-written pseudo-radiosity raytracer with an active and caring user community. I frequently use multi-core workstations and server clusters in parallel to speed the modeling and rendering calculations.

All of my work is printed on the LightJet printer at Paragon Display Group in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Their Lightjet provides the highest quality of any digital printing medium that I have seen, and features the longevity of modern Fuji photographic papers and chemicals. Foto1 has been a terrific collaborator for the greater part of a decade, and I am consistently pleased with the results and service that I receive. I will continue to print with them even when distance separates us. (734.665.3686, 2420 Oak Valley Dr, Ann Arbor MI 48103)

Larger pieces are custom matted and framed at either Pictures Plus in Ann Arbor, Michigan or Big Picture Framing in Newton, MA. Mike and his people at Pictures Plus go above and beyond what I usually expect from businesses. Their work is flawless and they have been very accomodating with my schedule and weird requests. I hope they don't mind me saying that! (734.741.0720, 2469 W Stadium Blvd, Ann Arbor, MI 48103)
