Here are some images from my first week shooting IR ‘infrared’ Photographs (tech / how-to information below). Portland has been cloudy mostly, so just shooting artificial light, around the block, and in the trees; not shooting much in full sun. I still haven’t settled on a processing method either. Tell me what you think and leave your thoughts and start some discussion below!

The journeys of 2014 kept Nicholas and his cameras mostly in the Northwest, and within the environs of Portland, Oregon – but that is for another time. Here we see where he went, what he shared and explored. The roads wind ever onward – to enchanted Oregon forests, deserts, and waterfalls. And to Adirondack high peaks and snow at the beach. I invite you to step in and enjoy where Nicholas’s eye takes you in these pages.
Should you desire a PDF version to print yourself, contact me and I can make one available.

Advent, Advent, ein Lichtlein brennt.
Erst eins, dann zwei, dann drei, dann vier.
Und dann steht das Christkindlein

This year’s Advent wreath, which I make of sand and dried color, in continuation of Advent traditions …

Needing someplace to write down notes and thoughts. So I put together a little journal from paper, thread, and brown wrapping paper. Just a little book binding project. 3 signatures, giving me 16 pages. The excess thread makes a little book mark.

As you may have gathered I have been making various Flow Visualizations this semester. While I have posted my preliminary selections of favorite photographs for each of my investigations, I wanted to share my top photographs. Three of the investigations are highlighted here: a soap film investigation (detailed PDF), a criticall fall investigation (detailed PDF), and a vortex shedding investigation (detailed PDF). I have a few posts about the schlieren density plume (or detailed PDF report). Each of the images below have been thoroughly examined to understand some of the physics and fluid phenomena involved (see PDFs). If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
