about ottofocus.com
Ottofocus.com is a gallery of selected images I've taken over time. Images that I remove from the gallery and most of the archived photos that were buried here are now on wafflelight.com.
about the photographs
The photographs are taken with a variety of cameras and formats. Most are presented with relatively minimal post processing. A small handful are exposure composites (so the sky and the landscape are both exposed properly) and even fewer are focus composites (to get a depth of field beyond what is possible with my lenses). Some of these are marked.
Prints are available of most images. Most images can also be licensed for editorial use, and many are also available for commercial and advertising use. Please contact me for details.
about the photographer
I live in Idaho, but with my camera I've been to four countries and 47 states. In high school, I failed photography. When I occasionally speak to groups of high school photography students, beginning with this fact gets their immediate attention.
a notice
As time goes on, I get better at image preparation for the web, and while I like a great deal of my older photographs, the only web versions I'm happy with are those posted since January 2006. Over time I will replace all of the .jpg files from earlier times, from the horrible 1999 things to the 2005 good-but-too-small ones. If you're interested in a photo with a crummy old jpg, let me know and I'll update it.
Enjoy the site...
