Paint the Sky Pink
Did you know that of our five senses, in terms of memory, that sight is our worst? Smell is our best. Something I learned in college when I read Josef Albers' Interaction of Color. He states that if we take a color we all are familiar with, like Coke a Cola red and lay out a bunch of red samples…

Kindred Spirits
Perhaps our connection is that we are kindred spirits in a visual sense. That we both share a poetic view of the universe. And that we use our art to make sense of this crazy world we live in. And though we live on opposite sides of the planet, we can look up into the skies at night and see…
I was Here
I have always had a burning desire to make photographs. Even now, after almost 40 years. I love everything about the process, the seeing, the discovering, then framing and ultimately capturing. And then in processing or as we now call it, editing, seeing if my little caterpillar will become a beautiful butterfly. I have also always enjoyed seeing the ordinary…

What Would Louis Daguerre Have Done?

I am going to let things stew a bit to see what might be a more integrated coup of work. Or it just may remain separate groups. Need to think…

Quirky Compositions
Yes, those two are among my favorites. I am even glad the compositions were disturbing for you. At least you noticed them, at least they got your attention. And hopefully that means, at least they weren't boring. It is hard to photograph things and places that have been photographed a gazillion times before and the question becomes how does one…

Technological Junk Pile of History
When I thought of your birthday last night, I remembered the studio sale in May of 1994. Remember that? The one to raise money to get me to Spain and you a Hasselblad? I could have sworn I had a digital copy on my computer from years ago, and may have. But what did I call it? Plus the program…
