About

My name is Tyler Carl, and I have been doing photography for 15 years. I have also done Timelapse Photography, Video and more recently flown drones to capture images and video.

For many years, I utilized Facebook to share my work with friends and family. I used to enjoy the reactions that people gave my posts but felt something missing from the process.

Recently I thought about how I might better share and tell the stories of where I have been, what I have seen, and Sydney suggested this.

My hope is to maintain the creative outlet better than I have in years past, and I look forward to where it takes me next!

The proper spelling of Raster was an available domain on GoDaddy, but I figured that Sydney may kill me, if I spent $27,000/annually to reserve the domain that I wanted, so I figured it reasonable to spell Raster, as Rast-r!

"Rast-R" Pronounced: ras·ter [ˈrastər] is a play on one of the two different types of data in Geographic Information Systems.

Vector data; comprised of geospatial information, such as coordinates, addresses, cities, or zip codes, which form the invisible fabric of our world in the form of points, lines, and polygons. This is the type of data that I create and/or manipulate inside of ArcGIS Pro/AutoCAD.

And then Raster data; comprised of a grid of pixels. and each pixel contains a value representing a specific feature or characteristic of the area it represents. So, from the photographic perspective, each pixel represents values on the RGB scale (Red, Green and Blue) This obviously is what my camera produces, and the variable relationship between light and color is something I always will struggle to understand!
