Large has Other Meanings

A photo friend of mine recently died and it has put me in a mood of sorts. We weren’t close friends, and he was older and had pretty serious health issues. But he was a really nice guy and someone I always thought of as a real treasure of the photo world. He started out shooting for the school newspaper…

Nice Moments

Hi Mel Just to let you know that the birthday celebrations for Mas were a huge success. Merrill Gardens had decorated the dining room in hummingbirds and draped the print on the wall. He thought the birds were the celebration, until they revealed the print. Mas was stunned and overwhelmed, and though the dining room was filled with residents, he couldn't…

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…

The Shortest Day, the Longest Day

Hey Matthew, Thought I would say hey and wish you Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas if you like. I prefer Happy Holidays, not because it is politically correct but rather it is inclusive for folks of all beliefs. I guess in a way it is also kind of generic, but at least is nice greeting to your friends and family.…

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…

And it Was a Craft, Wasn’t it?

30 years, wow. I am only 7 years ahead of you. I recall first meeting you at my old studio. That was a good period. The 90s were good to me. It was fun working with you too. I miss that old studio sometimes. Lots of good people like you passed through there. Had lots of good fun. I recall…

I Hated Being in Front of the Camera

In June I made a list of summer projects. While I think technically I have 3 weeks to go before summer’s end, I always think of Labor Day as the end of summer. Or maybe that just when they closed the pool in Grandview. None of my projects are complete, about 5 or 6 of them, but all are in…

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…
