DISCLAIMER: This is not a typical photography site. My "photographic" images are mostly impressionistic -- some more than others -- and they represent a deliberate alteration of the camera's image. Also some of the images appear again in many of the gallery pages, because they are appropriate to different themes.

Artist Statement: "My images are photographic by origin and impressionist by presentation. Some are enhanced with special digital techniques to create an imagery of feelings rather than precision. This approach produces a sense of vibrancy that cannot be achieved with traditional photography. The resulting images portray a sense of reality while adding an ambience of emotion that transcends realism to reveal what the eye and heart sees beyond what the camera can record -- you could say, this is an approach to art using photography" -- Don O. Thorpe

NOTE: A few of the images were scanned and posted before the advanced technology available now, so please excuse some imperfections. However, all the photographs on this Website can be reproduced in high quality digital images.
