Historic Colorado
Ted’s Historic Colorado collection features images from historic mining locations throughout Colorado presented in the alternate processes Cyanotype format originally developed in 1855. Ted commonly teaches this photographic process to schools and photo clubs.
Historic Processes
The Cyanotype process produces a cyan-blue print used for art as monochrome imagery applicable on a range of supports, and for reprography in the form of blueprints.
Landscape Photography
While I am best known for my abstract explorations of the human form, landscape imagery has long been a passion.
Our Accessible Journey
What if you could touch a sunset? We have bridged the gap between pixels and touch. Our process extracts the light and texture from and image then creates a multilayered tactile print using 3d printers.
“Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography.”
— George Eastman
