The Last Time I Saw Donna

My very dear friend Donna passed away last week, quite suddenly and quite unexpectedly. I had just seen her the week before at my opening at SAM. And now she was gone. She was a dear, sweet woman, so very elegant and full of grace and style. Over 30 years ago, as an artist's rep, she took me on as…

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…

Because Sometimes it’s Nice to Get a Pat on the Back

Hi Mel, Thanks so much for your speedy reply, and for permission to use these awesome photos! I especially liked the one in the library with the "sun" glasses. :-) With regard to our school program, we have started a new nonprofit foundation (UnityWorks) and recently launched a pilot program in Yakima, starting with 4 schools - including Davis High.…

Even Then I Knew…

Hey Brian... Is this you? I am just now catching up with my Christmas cards...so I thought I would write quick note. Have been very busy the past few months and last week someone threw the OFF switch and I am as quiet as a morgue here...not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it doesn’t last too long. So…

Some things Change Slowly

Hi Mel, The last year or so there's been a tremendous turnover at the PV. Ruth and Brenda have died, Della and Ada have gone to nursing homes, we moved Ted into the Wilsonian and Beverly finally sold. I think you already knew Cyra left a year ago. Pat Ryan has had a court-appointed guardian for about a year, but…

You are not as Sharp as You used to be…

I was bumbling around looking for neg to scan, an old neg, over 20 years old, pushing 30 actually. In the process I found a trove of negs I was sort of looking for a few months ago. I also found this image of you that I made when we were in Reno in June of 1995. I always thought…

Now and Then…Turning 60 – Part 2

I recently acquired my high school year book portrait taken in 1970. Back then the portrait studio made black and white prints and hand painted them, as that the norm of the day. The poor man's color portrait, as I always called them, since they were cheaper than color processes of that time. The irony is, that, if made properly,…

The Future is nearer than you think… 22 May 2012

I spent the afternoon with students from AC Davis High School in Yakima, Washington. I had an amazing time with them. They are bright, witty and our best hope for the future. And they are all going to college. Teach your children well.

Looking for River Rocks

That was great fun yesterday. I don't know why I don't do more stuff like that more often. Thank you for introducing me to a new part of the planet. And so close too. My rocks weighed around 200 pounds... No wonder my shoulder ached. Once the sun came out of the fog, the late afternoon mountain light was very…
