Many of my current projects have been web design projects, the biggest being a website for the non-profit foundation Up the Volume, which is now live. Also, I just recently updated the images in the Photographs section of the website. Featured is a new set of images from my Trains & Graffiti series. Click here to take a look at them.
I used to spend a great deal of time on the Delaware & Lehigh Canal path going back and forth to work. The path goes right by the Norfolk & Southern rail yard, and many of the freight trains are painted with the most amazing graffiti. One of the things I love about the graffiti painted trains is that the graffiti lays on top of and beside the very Swiss style lettering that identifies each train. I also love the texture of the rusty metal trains beneath the shiny paint. I feel sure that the color of the train dictates the colors chosen by the graffiti artist. Here is an example of some of the pictures taken on my many trips along the path. More of these images can be found in the Photographs section of this website.
The primary goal of the Up The Volume Foundation is to raise and allocate funds for major research aimed at preventing, detecting and treating gynecological cancers, as well as increasing public awareness about the treatment of gynecologic cancers and their effects on women.
This informative site's navigation and content are intuitive, accessible and completely W3C compliant, using XHTML, CSS, and a small amount of JavaScript. The site design employs imagery and stories of gynecological cancer survivors—combined with a warm and friendly color palette—to inform, and deliver a message of hope, to all browsing the site.
