Recent Projects: Mitch Dobrowner

mitchdob.jpgIf you're visiting my site you probably appreciate good photography, which is why you'll enjoy a website I recently completed for landscape photographer Mitch Dobrowner.

Mitch got into photography as a teenager, inspired by Ansel Adams and Minor White, came to California in the 80's and started a motion graphics design company with his wife Wendy Vanguard - a frequent design collaborator of mine.

After a 25 year hiatus, inspired by my success and Wendy's encouragement, Mitch pulled out his camera again and started creating the incredible high-contrast imagery you can see on his web site ( mitchdobrowner.com ) and in the current issue of Lenswork Magazine.

Wendy and I got together to create his website in Flash, in a minimalist style designed to keep the focus on Mitch's photos. It's so effortless to add more and more things to a web site -- it takes more effort to leave everything out and strip a design down to it's essentials.

Hope you enjoy it!

Volleyball Comes Early To Hermosa Beach

The AVP announced their 2007 schedule today, and their annual visit to Hermosa Beach will be May 17-20.

One week before the Fiesta Hermosa, it will be a busy month at the pier. But these dates have a better chance of sun than their traditional June visit.
