Perhaps I am insane

Or I just have too much time on my hands. It started with SAM and Jody’s request for new work. I gave her 3 prints of Japanese Koi. One I had a print, 2 copies of it in fact. But when I went to look for them, they were hiding and not together either. Being a big prints, I have…

Now and Then…Turning 60 – Part 2

I recently acquired my high school year book portrait taken in 1970. Back then the portrait studio made black and white prints and hand painted them, as that the norm of the day. The poor man's color portrait, as I always called them, since they were cheaper than color processes of that time. The irony is, that, if made properly,…

The Future is nearer than you think… 22 May 2012

I spent the afternoon with students from AC Davis High School in Yakima, Washington. I had an amazing time with them. They are bright, witty and our best hope for the future. And they are all going to college. Teach your children well.

Looking for River Rocks

That was great fun yesterday. I don't know why I don't do more stuff like that more often. Thank you for introducing me to a new part of the planet. And so close too. My rocks weighed around 200 pounds... No wonder my shoulder ached. Once the sun came out of the fog, the late afternoon mountain light was very…

Light in the South

I know it wasn't a trip to the deep south, but Virginia and North Carolina are still the south to me, a boy from Ohio. We traveled back roads to Farmville and Jettersville and everywhere we looked was a site of civil war battlefield. I know it is not much different than other rural areas in America, but it felt…

Roma: The color of morning 26 August 2011

It is about the evolution of the photographic image. Unlike our memories, the photographic image can be precise in rendering details and information. I try to make images that more closely match our memories, which fade over time, details become diffused. Our memories are usually way better than any photograph we can make. So I push my images to be…

Roma: The color of morning 20 August 2011

There is an upside to jet lag. Like when you wake up in Rome at 5 AM wide awake. The sun is coming up but the street lights are still on. I went for a walk at 6. No one on the streets. The city is mine. The morning light bounces off bright colored walls. Rome is quiet, peaceful. I…

Turning 60

I recently passed my 60th birthday and have felt compelled to say something. It seems that the build up to it caused more consternation then was warranted, but never the less I thrashed around and around that I was some how getting old. Of course I am. I thought more about my work more than anything. It seems that since…

Just another Room with a View

On a recent pleasant summer day in the San Juan Islands, I found myself making real estate images of a very lovely property with an amazing view. Besides the usual architecture photos of rooms, I roamed around the grounds through beautiful gardens and wooded areas. I started to think about the role of the photographic image in the process of…
