Jay Dyer:  

After high school I went to the University of Washington in Seattle Washington ( I seem to have a thing about Washington). There I started with a major in Architecture and end up in Social Psychology. Guess what I never did anything with either one. Also while at the UW I took up the hobby of Photography. After school I came back to Los Angeles and started driving a cab. After a two years of that I started working for an Alarm Company. For the next few years I moved from company to company learning all I could (getting a hefty pay raise which each switch). In 1978 I started my own Alarm Company and I also became a Professional Photographer as well. As a photographer I shot many Hair shows, Fashion shows, Weddings, Parties and special events. My Alarm Company did well. Fast forward 16 years. I get married to Alanda (a-land-da) Jackson who also went to Washington, class of 71. Yes, we went together in high school but we went our separate ways before I graduated. She went on to marry someone else later and, well, that didn't work out. I give up the photography three years after our marriage because my Alarm company was demanding so much of my time. Today Alanda and I are still together. She has become very successful in a 88 year old organization called Toastmasters International. They teach people how to overcome their fear of public speaking and also teach them to develop leadership skills. Alanda was the first Black person to become District Governor of Toastmasters Founder's District. She did this while carrying a full time job at Canon USA's west coast headquarters. Search "Alanda Dyer Toastmaster" to see my lovely wife. My company now works with Alarms, CCTV and Digital Video Recorders, Whole House Audio, Home Theater, Computer networking, Telephone, Intercom, Video, Satellite and Cable building distribution systems and Home Automation. We tie it all together. We can make your home/building act like its smarter than you are. I'm starting to get a little old for the work I do, so I have of late started to take up Photography again. This time I am not taking pictures of people, places and things. I have developed a new type of Abstract Art Photography I call Dyer-LightArt. It is a process where I DRAW with light inside my camera. I have never seen or found anyone else doing this type of imagery. I hope people like it. It looks like something someone used a computer to create and photographers I have shown my work to can't figure out how I do it all in one shot. If you would like to see a few examples of "JayDyer-LightArt" just type that into your search engine. I am not as of yet trying to sell any works, even though the sight you'll go to has prints for sale. It is just a convenient place to put a sampling for people to see. At this point I am more interested in what people think about it than I am in selling it. I have over a thousand different pieces, I will have plenty of time to sell a few when I retire. If you look at my work, please let me know what you think, good or bad. 2013, I just uploaded a ...Expand for more
