Bio

Why the name?
Elvis had already been taken many times over, as had my given name (Paul Ewbank). One doppleganger (dopplenamer?) had too lengthy a criminal record for Human Resources types. The chosen moniker was easy to remember and, at the time I joined Flickr, unique in Google searches.

What am I?
I am a photography hobbyist working towards Gladwell's 10,000 hours of proficiency. I develop the technical aspects by taking original-ish photos, and the artistic ones by studying and sharing creative commons/public domain images on Flickr. Many of my most interesting images have come from creating within Iron Photographer's constraints.

Why the GIFs?
If you look through my stream you will find a popular element is animated gifs generated from stereo images. This makes parallax visible to people with one eye, conferring some sense of stereo vision on those who lack it.
