Hi! My name is Jeremiah Tolbert, but you can call me Jeremy. I am a fantasy and science fiction writer, photographer, and web designer living in Northern Colorado.

My story from Polyphony 4, and one of my earliest successful attempts at the short story (although your definition of success may vary from mine in this case), is now live as a podcast on PodCastle. You can give it a listen over on the PodCastle site, but if you’re into fantasy, you should subscribe [...]

My story from the excellent anthology Seeds of Change (edited by the Anthology God, formerly known here as the Slush God, John Joseph Adams) has gone live over at Escape Pod. This is a story that was published to mixed reviews. But I am astounded by the job that Philippa Ballantine did here. Her reading [...]

Do you remember that Disney CG film Dinosaurs? It’s original concept involved a feature length movie with animals that only emoted, and never spoke. Having always been a big fan of computer animation, I was excited at the early rumors of the film. Unfortunately, Disney execs got involved and the result was the talky-travesty that [...]
- Five reasons this book trailer rocks 9:37 am June 22, 2008

I forget where I got this, but I think that it’s the level of quality I’d like to see in more book trailers online:
Having Tim Curry as a narrator is probably outside of the range of what we can afford as SF/F writers, but still. Let’s go over what makes this awesome:
Tight pacing. 2 minutes [...]

Frozen Food Center (HDR)
A concrete building in Old Town, reminiscent of Soviet Russia. Once a warehouse of sorts, it is now a very badly maintained apartment building, at least from the outside. Hmm, that sky didn't look like that when I was working in photoshop. Single exposure RAW experiment.
Vedawoo Trees
The trees of Vedawoo are twisted and gnarled by the high winds at that altitude much of the year. Not much grows up here, but what does is very hardy.
Prayer Rock
From the right angle, these rocks look like praying hands, and I've always called them Prayer Rock. More haloing than I would like. I should probably process this one again, but I really like the foreground.
Vedawoo Light
The sun was at one of those great angles where everything low was still in the shjade, but the rocks were lit brightly. This is the kind of shooting opportunity that HDR was made for. This is one of my favorites, and is in excellent focus compared to some others. No matter what your shutter speed, you _cannot_ handshoot HDR.
Vedawoo, early dawn II
Another capture of the early dawn in Vedawoo, a rock formation in Wyoming. This reflects the pinkness of the sky very well.
Vedawoo, early dawn
More of the Vedawoo rock formation in Wyoming. This is taken just barely after the sun came up. Everything was covered in frost and snow, resulting in a blue/pink miracle. Less hyper-real, more true to the actual situation. Oddly, a little bit of vignetting in the top left and right, but not elsewhere. I'm not sure how that happened. Actually might be caused by the highlight smoothing, come to think. I've been trying to eliminate the halo effect, which is what I like least in HDR, but it's hard in these landscape shots.
Vedawoo Dawn
The Vedawoo rock formations in Wyoming at dawn. It's not quite in focus. I need to work on my tripod locking. The blur I think comes from alignment issues.

Rocky Outcrop (Landscape)
rocky outcrop with stones
Trying to bring back the effect a bit. Was too much in the old version.
