Ray Kristof, Digital Dinosaur

Ray built his first darkroom as a teenager and began experimenting with papers and filters to create special effects. This landed him in a graphics studio developing visual effects for art directors, and in 1987 he was working at Apple when someone gave him an early beta of a new program called Photoshop. He was hooked, and continued experimenting as a designer for clients in business and education. In 2003 he founded a gallery of fine crafts called Terrestra, now located in Fair Oaks Village, CA.
