I'd love to introduce a new product here at 3scape Photos. We are now offering Museum Mount Canvas Prints! These works of art are printed on premium 9 oz. tight-weave linen-finish canvas. They are beautifully mounted on a 1 3/8” deep stretcher frame and finished with black framing paper and hanging system. To protect your image from scratching and surface damage, the canvas is coated with a clear protective finish that provides a slightly glossy finish without compromising the true look and feel of the canvas. Rubber feet are mounted on the back to protect your walls. Ready for hanging!

Today I present to you a new look to the front page of 3scape Photos. Is it done? Probably not. It's a start, it's a change, but it's not quite there. The front page will now show today's Photo of the Day, as well as three previous days. The Site Index will still be available, and has also been redesigned to make it easier read. All other site options are staying the same, for the moment. Hope you enjoy the changes!

You may have noticed a new icon in your address bar. I just implemented a new RSS Feed, which will update daily with a random Photo of the Day from my collection. I will soon be expanding this feature and will change the random photo section to include picks from the feed. Feel free to subscribe, and let me know what you think!

A few new sections have recently been posted. First, photos from my trip up to the northeastern reaches of Canada are finally online. It's taken me long enough, but give me a break, I've been busy! Also online is a new folder in the More Weirdness section with 3D images. I've just started learning about 3D modeling and rendering, so I'll post my trials and errors here for all to see. Maybe at some point I'll post some animations as well.In other news, I've started playing around with my new Canon 40D and am thrilled the say the results are everything I expected and more. The quality of this machine is so much higher than that of my old 10D. I do plan on keeping my 10D however, and possibly converting it for infrared (IR) use. That's all for now, hopefully I'll be getting more photos online soon.

Well, I just pre-ordered my Canon 40D Digial SLR Camera from Amazon. It looks like the demand is high, but they're estimating a pretty reasonable shipping date for me. Hopefully they make good on that estimate!

I'm back from Canada now, after a few altered plans, about 4300 miles on my vehicle, and more French than I care to hear for a long while. To say the least, this was definitely an adventure that I will probably not repeat. However, I got a few photos that I will hopefully share very shortly.

Preparations for the big motorcycle trip are well under way. I'm waiting for some parts to come in so I can finish prepping the bike. Camping gear is pretty much set, as are maps, etc. Getting close!
In other news, I've recently started uploading *some* of my photos to ShutterStock.com. This is a great place for stock photographers to market their images. However, all of my most unique images will remain on this website only, so if you need unique images then please let me know. And, as always, prints will continue to be available here in many sizes.
Finally, I will soon be adding Gallery Wraps to my product selection. This is a fantastic fine-art option, printed on canvas and stretched on a wood frame, ready for hanging. Please stay tuned!

Happy Mardi Gras 2007!
I just came back from New Orleans where I celebrated Mardi Gras for 4 days. Unfortunately I was unable to stay for Fat Tuesday, but the rest of the event was a blast. I took a bunch of photos which should be online shortly.
In other news, I'm preparing for a long-haul motorcycle expedition to the northern reaches of Canada - the Trans-Labrador Highway to Newfoundland. I'm looking for the generous support of sponsors to assist me with my preparations. Please click here for more details about the ride, and thank you in advance for your support.

Well, it seems that so far my new implementation of tags is a success. I'm still working on adding appropriate tags to my images, and refining the search engine, so please bear with me. In the mean time, you can help by adding tags to my images as well. If you see a photo that's missing an important tag, please feel free to add it! Also, if you have any other comments or site feedback, please feel free to contact me.

I've now finished a new Photo Tag feature for the website! All images can now have viewer-defined tags (keywords) that make searching for photos easier than ever.

In an effort to better please my visitors (and keep you coming back), I've implemented a weekly poll. Every week I'll post a new question for you to ponder, and hopefully from this information I'll be able to add content and make changes that make this site more enjoyable. So, look to the right, and start voting!

I've just returned from a 2 week trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar in Eastern Africa. This was an absolutely fantastic trip - 8 days on safari visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, the vast Serengeti, and Lake Manyara. We toured with Ranger Safaris, the largest safari company in Tanzania. I recommend them very highly, as our guide (Gaby) and driver (JB) probably the best around. The trip concluded with a few days on the island of Zanzibar, where we relaxed, toured Stone Town, and did some SCUBA diving in the Indian Ocean. I should have photos from this trip posted shortly, but sorting through almost 1600 images will take some time.

Well, after about one month of work, I finally got around to sorting, ordering, and categorizing the 16,600 images in my collection. For this daunting task, I use IMatch digital imaging management from photools.com. It's great stuff!
In other news, I'm now a full member of Wish-Stock.com. This stock agency is one of a kind, and allows buyers to request specific or hard to find images. See my portfolio HERE.

June has been a busy month, unfortunately I haven't had much to add to the site. I have a bunch of photos waiting in the wings, so stay tuned.Some of you have asked why I have some banner ads on the site. Well, in order to maintain this site and pay for my photography "habit", I need sponsors. I would very much like to eliminate all the ads from my site, so if you see photos you like, please buy some prints! If I sell enough prints, I'll get rid of ads all together. Happy surfing!

I just added a bunch of photos from my last kitchen renovation project. This was a huge undertaking that took me 7 weeks to complete. It was a complete gut job... after much toil and a few scrapes and bruises, I came out with a kitchen I can be proud of. Check out the latest in the Construction section.

I also plan on adding purchase links for this stuff so you can buy it too. Maybe I should include a wish list too, so some kind hearted soul can buy me some gifts! Just click the new "Gear" tab on the above menu, or click here.

Today I added a "Request Stock" feature to the website, that allows you to send in special requests for stock images. If you don't see anything in the gallery that you need for a project or other need, just ask! I'll search through my collection of about 15,000 images (and counting) to see if I have something for you.

Well, this is the first of who knows how many news stories for the site. I'm sort of doing this as an experiment, so I'm not sure what all will be in here yet. Here's the news for this week.
I added a news feature to the website. In the near future, I plan on adding additional features, which will be accessible via the top menu bar. I'm taking ideas if anyone has any.
In other news, I've joined a stock photography agency called Wish-Stock.com Check it out, especially if you work with stock photos much. The company is still building its portfolio, as am I.
Well, that's about all the news for today, stay tuned!
