I originally developed Triclops Visions about 14 years ago to represent my work in photography. I learned to process black and white prints and soon assembled my very own darkroom in the converted attic I inhabited when living with my dad. It was a real high tech operation with a used enlarger, three trays and a plastic dish pan (I bought at Dominick's) to rinse the prints. My wonderfully supportive girlfriend [now my wife] provided the grain finder and chemical trays as a gift. Knowing a good thing when I saw one, I married her as soon as possible. I shot some events, weddings, concerts, cast photos and plenty of artsy picture, some of which have won ribbons in local photo contests.
Long before photography I've always been interested in other traditional art forms (drawing, painting, sculpting) and about 12 years ago I bought my first PC. Now, I know what you're thinking, "What does this have to do with anything?". When you ad photography, art and digital technology together you get Graphic Design. This PC had a processor that ran at a blistering 33 MHz and had a whopping 8 MB of RAM and a 20 MB hard drive. I think I had to start it like a lawn mower.
Since then I've upgraded my equipment, learned more software, polished my skills added web design to my repertoire and the result is what you see in front of you. Well, a sample of it anyway.
