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…

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…

Options Change Ahead

I know about missed photo opportunities. I ‘ve had a few. Sometimes like you, I say I’ll be back. Other times I am just in a hurry and don’t feel like stopping. Once in England I was traveling in the north in Yorkshire. I had hired a car and driver for the day to show me and my assistant a…

Chance Meetings and Enduring Friendship

I am still pondering the story about Dona and how to best present it. It is an interesting story about chance meetings and enduring friendship. But it also reminds me how dependent my life’s work has been about chance meetings and following the end of my nose. Very little of the work I have done in my life is the…

Going Nowhere in Particular

I am glad you like my little ferry image. Nice little back story to that one. I was fairly new to Seattle and not always busy with work. I was friends with a guy who was a free spirit and like me, loved to make photographs. We would do this thing he called space cruising. We would set a time…

Let it Flow

Ok, let’s do Friday the 11thsay 1 or 130? I will nose around a bit more and see what I can find. I see this time and again when it comes to film and prints. Folks keep the prints, toss the negs. But the fact of the matter is the negs are the original source material and way more valuable…

My Dark Room Days Were Numbered

Just before high end digital cameras came into being, most photographers got scanners to facilitate digital deliver to clients. For a while there service bureaus, remember those? Designers would take film there to be scanned as well as get other digital output stuff. The going rate for a 50meg scan was $50. Photographers said hey, we should be doing that…

Spring Break

Hey Stuart, Catch any good light lately? I am liking moving out of winter and into spring with the promise of new growth and perhaps life returning to normal. I have been out of it for the past few days. I got my second vaccine shot on Saturday and the side effects hit me on Sunday. Nothing major, just tiredness,…

Just so Much Data

I am mailing out your prints today. Snail mail. Look for them. When you get them you will find 7 prints and a CD. Without looking at them closely or reading the notes on the back of each print, lay them all out in good light. Good light is a relative term. I laid them out on the floor of…

The Perfect Drink

That’s a very cool story. Other than Carter’s Rome martini, I don’t really have any perfect drink memories/stories. I have a few funny ones like drinking vodka and schnapps with Russians, who frankly, would have drunk turpentine had it been placed in front of them. The drinks spark the memory of the moment. Beer with a Czech artist in Kadan.…
