New guest photographer on 'digital photography.....digital art'

[David Amis]

Hi all,
This is just to let you know that there is now a new guest photographer on
'digital photography.....digital art' (http://daveamis.freeservers.com). He
is Dimitri Chrysanthopoulos and is based in New Jersey (USA). The images
featured are some intriguing and moody black and white shots of beaches.
Rather than try to describe Dimitri's work in full, I've included the text
from him (below) that is used in the guest section. I hope you enjoy and
appreciate his work.

"the seascape is a prominent theme for contemporary photography, from such
masters as jim pfahl to hiroshi sugimoto, their ability to capture emotion
ranging from quiet solitude to raging anger have heavily influenced my view
of the ocean as a landscape to be photographed."

"for myself, the experience of being on the shore; the salty sea air and the
wind whistling past is as important, as the camera, the film, and the
printing of the photograph."

"the series i'm working on now, has evolved over the past year or more, from
straight representation of the jersey shore and parts of the asbury park
boardwalk, to more abstract views of the ocean."

p.s. Catherine Sienko's section has now been moved into the archives for
those of you who still want the chance to view her work.

Hi again,
As well as viewing Dimitri's beach shots from New Jersey in 'guest', you can
also see the latest images I have included in the 'updates' section on

'digital photography.....digital art' (http://daveamis.freeservers.com).

These are of the Thames estuary marshes. They can best be described as moody
so they may not be to everyone's taste - be warned!

Regards,
Dave

They are just splendid Dave!

Hi all,
More news about 'digital photography.....digital art'
(http://daveamis.freeservers.com). Firstly, I've completely re-designed and
rebuilt the site giving it a fresher look and (hopefully!) making the
navigation easier.

Secondly, there are new images in the Updates and the Urban sections. In
Updates are some slightly arty shots of the Thames estuary mudflats at low
tide. In the Urban section are some digitally manipulated images of the
Lloyds building in the City of London. I'd be interested to hear whether you
think the level of digital manipulation on these images is legitimate
photographic practice. I'm not easily offended so you can be as honest as
you like - it's an interesting issue and one worthy of debate.

Lastly, Dimitri Chrysanthopoulos is still the guest photographer on the site
- do have a look at his superb black and white beach shots.

All the best,
Dave
