Zone System

Vermont sounds lovely, even if it is past the peak. I have only been to Vermont once. Back in 1979. I had just quit the only real job I had ever had. I was a graphic designer in a small largely architectural design firm. I work there 2 ½ years before deciding to plunge into the world of photography. I…

Our House Christmas 2021

Hey Man, Did you manage to get thru the holidaze without going crazy? Seems it went by rather quickly. I never seemed to totally get into the spirit of things though we had our tree and decorations up and had a nice Christmas dinner with a friend. It just seemed to have had a bit less luster this year. Maybe…

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…
