Dreams Come in Many forms

I have always found that often when one door closes, another opens to offer other opportunities. In 1994 I was teaching part time at UW in the photo department. They also had a full time tenure track position open that I applied for. I really, really wanted the gig, even though I knew I wouldn’t get it. I knew they…

After the Flood

Connie, Well the basement is drying out and soon the money will start flowing out to put things back in order. Thus far, my insurance company is denying any coverage. City problem they say. I am bracing for the city to say not our problem either... In the mean time I trying to move on with damage control. First is…

Apartment Zola, Paris, May of 1999

Hey Girlfriend, So I looked and found these negs and like I thought, they are mine, not yours. I shot them, though I suppose you could have pushed the button. But I don’t think so. First the camera was on a tripod and secondly, my recollection is this was a selfie session. Lastly, the whole contact sheet is very posey...…

Who Says You Can’t Go Back

Three years ago I spent an afternoon with students from AC Davis High School in Yakima, Washington. It was a good day, with great kids and we made a lot of great photographs together. I returned last week, to work with a new group of aspiring college bound students. And the school too had been renovated as well. There was…

Twilight Musings

I stepped out from the opening at the Sisko Gallery recently and observed a beautiful late winter twilight evening. And a big glowing orb in the sky. It was an interesting urban scene that I wanted to capture somehow. I have never been the kind of photographer to carry my camera with me everywhere I go, so all I had…

The Right to Say I Did This

Trey, Thank you for your kind words about my WH project. I have never been quite sure what people might think of these photos. Panoramic images can hard to look at, with the distortion and all. It has never bothered me, I embraced the look years ago. But I often wondered with this work, would one see it as a…

Still Standing

I have thought more about the idea we have discussed of teaching at the college in the sleepy little town. It's a great dream. For many years I had a client in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Just a few miles from Shepardstown, West VA, home of Shepards College. Talk about bucolic. There is a train station there...an hour to DC...the big…
