It’s Just a Piece of Paper

The events of the past few months has made me wonder the value of my work. I suppose the short answer is, whatever someone will pay for it. But can the value be quantified in mere terms of dollars and cents? There is sentimental value, there is historic value, there are kinds of ways to value things. But the flood…

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…

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…

My Little Oasis

Jack, About Rock Walk first. This is perfect. AS it turns out I have a 48” print in inventory. And fortunately it wasn’t stored in my basement, but rather framed and stored on the wall of a client. I can send you the print and recycle the frame to another client, looking for a print of mine that size. So…

Late Summer Sunset – Seattle, Washington

The view from the downtown high rise buildings can be quite striking, especially on a late summer at twilight. I never get tired of views like this.

Connie, You must be busy, since you haven’t stopped by to gawk at the mess. The basement is more or less dried out and empty with the final move out coming on September the 3rd. Then the damage control guys move in and do the flood cut and sanitizing thing. Then hopefully I can get Petre on board to build…

Re: Blast from the Past

Richard, I guess news travels fast. It would be great to see you if you can make it. I plan to wear my Widelux around my neck as a bit of a homage to John. I can’t recall when I last saw John, but it was after I had closed my darkroom in 2006 and before I handed off my…

Good on This Day Only

I was rummaging through my archives recently when I found this badge form a visit to Microsoft land. I looked at the date and wondered why I was there. I did a fair amount of work with them back then, but couldn't recall the specific project I was working on that might have had me at their offices on that…

A Perfect Moment

As an artist using a camera, I make lots of images of all kinds of things, of people and places. Most often it is later that I look at a photograph I have made and realize what a special moment that was, and that I didn't realize it at the time. On this morning I did. It was Sunday the…
