Belle Epoch

Your travels sound wonderful. What a great spirit you are instilling in Luca, wanderlust. And to think I was almost 40 years old before I stepped on foreign soil (Canada and Mexico don’t count). So France and Crete in the fall. That’s an interesting combo. How did that connection come about? I might be able to visit sooner than later.…

Million Dollar Views

Well I think you would be proud of me. I gave my 2 week notice yesterday. Carter thought I should keep it under my hat, as he thinks I will change my mind. But, no, this is for real this time. And if they didn’t have a line up of projects, it would have been effective immediately. I won’t get into…

Lunch at Dona’s

Thanks man for allowing me to vent this morning. It’s tricky sometimes trying to navigate the waters of the business world, especially when the client is a friend. Not always a good combination. When it comes to money I always try to be fair, and sometimes I give in and say whatever, because I hate to quibble about such things.…

A Quiet Way of Seeing

If you are interested in learning more about the camera that I made this image with, just Google Diana camera and there is plethora of information about it. As I mentioned on the phone, many photographers are attracted to it’s use as a throw back to the days of simple cameras. It is less complicated and speaks to a more…

Et Merci Beaucoup Pour le Lagniappe!

Hi Mel, The prints are absolutely beautiful. A thousand times better than I was expecting. Well worth the wait. The enchanting story this image conveys touches me deeply. I can't wait to witness my brothers' reactions. Et merci beaucoup pour le lagniappe!... as we would say back home in Louisiana. What a jewel, the little postmarked box and its contents.…

It Was a Magical Time

At the end of February in 1998 I went to London for 10 days. My first trip to that great city. We stayed across the street from Hyde Park and toured the city at length. There was suppose to be a launch party for a new stock agency I was working with at the time, but that was delayed. Never the…

Oscar Night In Seattle

Went to an Oscar bash last night in downtown Seattle. It was kind of fun. Perhaps a bit loud or perhaps I am getting too old to dress up and party. Or maybe it just wasn't my cup of tea. But stepping out on the street to get the car, the city was alive and vibrant. Seattle has changed so…

Fits Like an Old Shoe

Agreeable gray.... Sounds nice. It is very pleasant and neutral and as they say on HGTV, it is what buyers want. I have always used grays in my studio and living spaces. And red too. Here’s my old studio. Carter likes bigger colors, hence we have a deep blue bedroom and salmon in the living and dining rooms. And chocolate…

Pleasant Abstraction

There seems to be a fine line between a pleasant abstraction and just an out of focus picture. It is definitely something you have to play with and shoot a lot. But the process is definitely fun. Like my Instagram stuff. Just me playing around, mostly out of curiosity. Wondering what something might look like. But the instagram stuff is…

When Everything Seemed Ok in the World

It was very fun last night and very peaceful. I got up early today, before sunrise, and it was so pretty and quiet. It was just lovely with the fresh fallen snow. Later I took Barney for a walk, his first in snow. He had great fun at first, running through it though it was deep enough to come up…
