Barking and All

I do read your emails. You have more experience with pets that I do. When Carter moved here, he brought with him a shi tzu named Toto. He was already around 13 years old. He had a heart condition and couldn’t fly. So we hired two friends to fly to DC, pick up his car and drive with Toto across…

The Next Vivian Maier

Speaking of famous. I never thought much about it really. I mean yes, I wanted to be known for my good work, respected and all. But famous? What does that really mean? It was never something I strived for. My goal from the beginning of this journey was to make a life, make a living with a camera. And I…

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…

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…

Not in My Bathroom

So the judging is live via Zoom and the contestants are present to see the judge’s picks and hear his comment? Woo, kinda brutal to me. I have been involved in a gazillion competitions, as a participant, a worker bee and a judge and the judging is usually carried on in privacy. Only one show did I ever judge that had…

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…
