BigEyeExtreme close-up of a human's eye BigEye Photography is a small, but active operation that began in 2005. It consists of Alexey Stiop (BigEye himself, the photographer) and me, Clare (aka LittleEye; the pack mule, logo, and behind the scenes business manager).

SANYO DIGITAL CAMERA Alexey is a very tall person...and I am rather vertically challenged. The dog is even shorter than I am, so when he and I are discussing Alexey we often refer to him as "the big guy". Bigguy sounds an awful lot like bigeye when spoken aloud. So, when a name for the burgeoning photography venture was needed, BigEye seemed an appropriate fit, plus we didn't need to adjust to a new nickname for Alexey.  Muttering to the dog about what "Lens Leopard" or "Captain Camera" did seemed cumbersome.

In the blog the more technical posts and tutorials will come from BigEye, and I will pass along travel information and commentary for some of the images. If you'd like to hear more about one of the places we've been, or are looking for a how-to on a particular photographic technique, please let us know.
