I Ain’t Done Yet…
Well I should call it a day and head out for that terrible commute of mine, but I am still working on this lovely condo. 2 more bedrooms to do. And I have to go back for a garage shot and exterior of the building...maybe a lobby shot too. Can you say fun... So to amuse myself I work on…

David’s Garden
I had the pleasure of hanging out with a good friend of mine and photo guru, David E. Perry yesterday morning. He is a master gardener and makes brilliant photographs to boot. And the frittata was pretty kicking as well. It was nice to exchange ideas and talk about the visual medium for which we share a common passion. It was a…

Fishing With Walter
Hey man, I have had a moderately busy summer myself. Despite my broken finger, which is healing nicely actually, I have been doing a bunch of print making. A dealer in DC sold a huge (30x72” image size) print to a client there. An old one too, black and white film image made with the Widelux camera. It was cool…

Fundación Valparaíso
Mel In Spain, summer 1994 20 years ago today I step off a plane in Madrid in a jet lagged stupor. I had never traveled abroad and it was all so foreign to me. And to think it almost didn't happen. In 1993, the then directors of Fundación Valparaíso were visiting their son who lived in Seattle at the time. To…

Space Cruise
Richard,I guess news travels fast. It would be great to see you if you can make it. I plan to wear my Widelux around my neck as a bit of a homage to John. I can’t recall when I last saw John, but it was after I had closed my darkroom in 2006 and before I handed off my 2nd…
