This is the first project I photographed with an infrared modified
digital camera. I had been to Las Vegas many times over the years,
but primarily because that’s where the plane lands. Las Vegas has the
closest airport to southern Utah and western Arizona, places I’ve gone
to many times to do landscape photography. Also, flights to Las Vegas
from New York are relatively cheap. However, I never was really
interested in Las Vegas as a photographic subject – “too colorful” in
color, not that interesting in black and white. But on one trip out west,
I decided to take some shots on my newly modified camera. The fantasy
effect that the infrared portion of the spectrum adds to the already
fantastical architecture really inspired me to pursue this further and
to complete the project over several trips. I think Vegas looks much
better in infrared – sort of like looking at the place through rose
colored, or in this case, infrared colored glasses.

The photographs in this PDF are available in a print folio
What is a folio?
A folio is a new way to present a collection
of prints. It’s a small-sized set of photographs
on a given topic, sequenced like a book, but
unbound like a portfolio. The prints come in
an art paper enclosure with a die-cut window
with the folio title showing through. The
enclosure uses only archival, acid-free materials
to protect the life of the prints inside. Each
folio is shipped in a sealed, clear plastic sleeve.
It fits on a shelf like a book– perfect for the
photography collector who no longer has any
more wall space for framed prints!

I’m a life-long New Yorker who was born in Brooklyn in 1951. Through my interest in science in high
school, I became interested in the technical aspects of developing film and making prints. I went
on to attend the School of Visual Arts in New
York City where I earned a BFA in photography
in 1976. After graduating, I worked in the audiovisual field for several years, during which time I
became interested in video and pursued a career
in video editing.
Once my career was launched, my photographic
interests were set aside until 1988, when I began
to travel to different parts of the country, especially to the Southwest and Southeast. Soon the
fire for photography was rekindled.
While I used two medium format cameras, shooting color film in one and black and white in the
other, my printing was entirely in color since my
darkroom was primarily set up for that. In 1994
I became interested in the options that digital
technology offered, and set up a dry darkroom.

Once I had a computer, scanner, and a working
knowledge of Photoshop, I started working on my
backlog of black and white images. And as soon
as the technology allowed it, I began producing
black and white prints using carbon pigment quad
tone inks on rag paper. In 2003 I got a digital SLR
and stopped using film, and now make my landscape photographs in color as well as black and
white by shooting and printing digitally.
In 2006 I bought a Canon 5D digital SLR and had
it modified to shoot only in infrared. I’ve added
this to my photographic arsenal, and now shoot
landscapes in infrared as well
Today, I continue my professional work as a video editor, editing documentaries for independent
producers. I also do color correction work on the
documentaries as well, aided by the knowledge
I’ve gained from years of color printing, and my
Photoshop skills.
