http://skytopian.smugmug.com/popular/ My name is Don Sack. I live in Skytop, Pennsylvania with my beautiful wife, Dale, and our two cats, Rascal and Risque. With camera always at hand, I am deeply involved in the photographic arts. Landscape, wildlife, florals, still lifes are my favorite subjects. Located in a place like Skytop with its abundant flora and fauna along with some breathtaking scenery offers one the opportunity to capture much of the beauty created by Mother Nature without leaving home base. I have recently moved on from film photography to the delights of high quality digital imaging. This allows me the freedom to shoot more and get the results almost instantly with the help of the computer and Photoshop. I have been a member of "The National Association of Photoshop Professionals" for over seven years. Digital imaging, along with my imagination, has led me to produce abstract designs made from photos I have taken, captured in our natural surroundings. Photo restoration is another fascination of mine. I love to bring old and not so old photos back to life. All work is done digitally on the computer so the original print is not disturbed.
