The goal of the L&I Arts website, for now; is to maintain a simple web presence. While we will
continue to expand the scope and featurers of the web site, the majority of our energies
are going to be put into creating high quality graphic and photographic work.
All images seen on the website are available as custom signed, numbered, and matted prints from
L&I Arts of Troutdale, Oregon. Custom framing is available
to customers in the Portland Metro area. Pricing available upon request. E-mail any request

The L&I Arts website is, obviously, still under construction. I tend to move back and forth from one project to the another... So, one day I focus on building site content or shooting, then on scripting page features, and the next on a 55 hour 9-5 job. I really want to put this out there to motivate myself and stay on some kind of schedule. There are several things I would like to do to improve the site: finish the galleries and impoort more images, create a mobile version that works with Android and iOS devices, create a blog page, create an RSS feed for new images and site updates, and finally get to work on free downloadable desktop backgrounds and themes. But all of these things may have to take a backseat to a concern that I should have addressed weeks ago... the layout of the pages needs to be adjusted to work with monitors that don't use a wide-screen aspect ratio. So, I'll begin a psuedo-blog and walk everyone through the steps of laying out the site. cont'd
As L&I Arts moves forward we want visitors to our site to get a feel for the entire process of creating work for display. The image itself is the center of focus when viewing the piece. But, this is only true if you are looking specifically at the piece. If the work is going to be effective we have to consider how it will appear from many different perspectives. cont'd

This image of a Great Blue Heron was taken along the Springwater Corridor multi-use trail just inside
the Portland city limits. It is an area of green space that has been set aside as wetland restoration. The archetitects
of the area have done a wonderful job.
Just a beautiful pose for a portrait. Taken on the campus of Mt. Hood Community College, and
edited (as always) using the open source Gnu Image Manipulation Program.
Another shot from one of my favorite places, Thousand Acres Park. Even though this space is most noted
as an off leash dog park there is still plenty of wildlife to be seen. This buck (his antlers still in velvet)
was enjoying the cool, quiet summer morning (5:30am).
This photo was taken at the Thousand Acres metro area park and preserve.
Located just outside of Troutdale, the park/nature preserve is a popular spot among birders, fishermen,
and dog owners. There is an abundance of wildlife including deer, coyotes, birds, waterfowl, and an
abundance
of wildflowers. The park also boasts a blind designed by Maya Lynn, the noted architect.
The photo was shot in RAW and converted and edited using GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program)
I'm working on a script that will allow EXIF information to be displayed and hope to make
that feature available within the month.
Oneonta Creek in the Columbia River Gorge. This picture was taken in August but I think the red highlights
in the rocks and fallen cedar tree combined with cool blues of the stream give the image a feel of Autumn.
This is just a fun fall picture taken at a little pumpkin patch a few miles south of the
Columbia River near the Portland city limits. Shot using ISO 100 early in the morning with a
tripod. Just a few minutes of work in GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) to make some adjustments
to the color levels then overlay the layer for some nice rich tones.
