The Bigger View

I do enjoy the cash flow, don’t get me wrong. But I have to ask myself if it is worth it? I also am beginning to see a little light at the end of the tunnel, and know that there is more time behind me than there is ahead of me, so how do I want to spend that time?

The Color of Morning 20 August 2016

Yesterday morning I had a recollection of arriving in Rome. It was Friday and for five years I always arrived on Friday morning, sometime in late August. But the last time was five years ago. And yet, this time of year, I always recall arriving in Rome. Jet lagged, tired, and often culture shocked. But I always loved it, especially…

Return to Farmville

Based on request from one of my stock agencies based in London, I went looking through the archives. They wanted more imagery that says, America. I don't really go in search of that type of imagery, but not being particularly busy and looking for distractions of any kind, I went nosing around and ended up back in Farmville, Virginia. A…

Items of Value

Good morning, Mel Curtis. Today I am spending a second day appraising recent gifts to the Obamas. My data sheet #7709 pertains to a photo you took apparently on 30 April 1996 and titled "Dinner at the White House". I remember liking the haziness of it -- almost French impressionistic. Would you please inform me a probable retail value of…

4 October 2012 Parting Thoughts on Barcelona

Barcelona is simply an amazing city, a combination of very old and very new and nicely co existing. It is the most accessible city in Europe I have ever visited. The needs of the elderly and disabled are looked after with barrier free architecture. Bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists actually get along and are civil to one another. The streets are…

Finally the basement renovation is done and I am moved back in. Now begins the fun part of once and for all reorganizing stuff.

Happy New Year

It is through my photographs that I am acutely aware of the passage of time. The photographic image fixes a place or moment and time stops. Until the next image alters that truth. Last summer I made an image such as this, and called it the perfect moment. And it was, then. But it was a fleeting moment, ephemeral and…

Home, Sweet Home

I should clarify about the housing here. My first home did cost $92k in 1994 and I sold it for $200k in 2001. Probably would sell for maybe as much $300k today. The $700 is the average price of homes in this area now. My first home was a co op in an old building built in the 1920's. A…

Photos Up

Laura, I have posted photos for your downloading and viewing pleasure. You will see two zip folders. The SmallJPG folder contains everything I shot, around 350 images. The are largely unprocessed, so look at them for content and composition and such and not worry about the color or exposure. I fix that in processing. The LargeJPG folder contain high rez…
