This photo blog and website presents the images of Russell E. Murray a.k.a.: REM.  I share my initials with the acronym for “Rapid Eye Movement”, the eye/brain activity that indicates deep-sleep dreaming is in-progress; the place where the best (and most interesting) thoughts and visions happen.

So, in the spirit of “R.E.M.” (dreams, not the band, though I did meet Michael Stipe once at a restaurant), my images and multimedia are created and delivered under the fake moniker, pseudonym and secret identity “REMAGES”.

Question: does using a “nom de camera” or “nom de lens” make me a ghost-photographer?

How was REMAGES born?  Basically, I fell in love with my Kodak Instamatic camera at the age of 7, and nothing was safe after that!  Tools now include: Sony, Canon, Leica, Lumix, Polaroid, Lumia, iPhone, Hipstamatic, and other camera and editing apps.

Remages = Photography & multimedia, created to delight the senses, confound the mind, evoke feelings, and provoke reactions:

• Specializing in iPhonography, Hipstamatic, candid & street photography, art-graphic, beautiful and bizarre elements and aspects of everyday, mundane objects.
• Drawn to unusual points-of-view, different perspectives, alternative takes, the-space-between, things unseen and words unsaid – the essence of things.
• Tools: various new, and vintage, hi-and-lo-res, offbeat, retro and imperfect devices for capturing and translating the fleeting moments of life into images.

REMAGES is available to create special images just for you or your business, upon request, for a nominal (reasonable) service charge. Go to the Contact Page for a list of places you can see (and purchase) my images — both still and sparkling — under the “remages” identity.

REMAGES multimedia is made available through exist management creative, content, media, and agency services.
