Our House

Colors are starting to perk up. I have a feeling they will be off this year due to the summer heat and drought. A lot of trees seem to be going straight from greenish to brown. Not the usual burst of color. But then our colors don’t usually peak until the end of October. We often have color into the first…

I Never Tired of that View

I taught with the UW Design in Rome Program and we had our classes at the UW Rome Center in Campo di Fiori. It was a pretty nice gig, though August in Rome is pretty hot and steamy. Teaching was fun there, students were great and I created a pretty amazing collection of images. I would always just sit and…

I Should Have Been a Painter

My work seems to be all over the map. I can identify themes and threads of themes, but that is about it. Much of my work is about the man made landscape. Which includes urban scapes, gardens and even farm land like the Palouse. Any landscape sculpted by the hand of man. I also like architecture, preferably old like the…

The Last Silver Print

This is one of the last silver prints I ever made in 2006. I made it in a friend’s darkroom as I had already shut my down. My friend had a much better darkroom than I did, but I recall not having any fun printing that day. Probably because I was reprinting and not creating something new. I was making…

Ten Years After

This image popped up on Facebook this morning. Share your old memories they say. This was 2010 class in Rome. I was to go one last time in 2011, then called it quits. Hard to believe it has been ten years already. For maybe three or four years after that last class I would have a yearning to be in…

Options Change Ahead

I know about missed photo opportunities. I ‘ve had a few. Sometimes like you, I say I’ll be back. Other times I am just in a hurry and don’t feel like stopping. Once in England I was traveling in the north in Yorkshire. I had hired a car and driver for the day to show me and my assistant a…

Just Make Good Pictures

Not sure I told you, but I entered a local art’s festival and won top prize in the photo category. Beat out all the lovely pics of autumn trees and Mt Rainier. I have since had a nice email dialog going on with the guy who judged the show. He lives up in Bellingham and is very old school. Shoots…

Let it Flow

Ok, let’s do Friday the 11thsay 1 or 130? I will nose around a bit more and see what I can find. I see this time and again when it comes to film and prints. Folks keep the prints, toss the negs. But the fact of the matter is the negs are the original source material and way more valuable…

Hear Yourself Think

On a less existential note… we dined out last Friday for the first time. It was kind of nice. At 50% capacity, you could actually hear yourself think and carry on a conversation. Carter had his usual martini, but for health reasons, they couldn’t do a twist. Only a lemon wedge, sliced with gloved hands, handled only with tongs. I…

My Dark Room Days Were Numbered

Just before high end digital cameras came into being, most photographers got scanners to facilitate digital deliver to clients. For a while there service bureaus, remember those? Designers would take film there to be scanned as well as get other digital output stuff. The going rate for a 50meg scan was $50. Photographers said hey, we should be doing that…
