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…

After the Flood

Connie, Well the basement is drying out and soon the money will start flowing out to put things back in order. Thus far, my insurance company is denying any coverage. City problem they say. I am bracing for the city to say not our problem either... In the mean time I trying to move on with damage control. First is…

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…

Apartment Zola, Paris, May of 1999

Hey Girlfriend, So I looked and found these negs and like I thought, they are mine, not yours. I shot them, though I suppose you could have pushed the button. But I don’t think so. First the camera was on a tripod and secondly, my recollection is this was a selfie session. Lastly, the whole contact sheet is very posey...…

Divert to Paris

I tend to save ticket stubs and other bits of ephemera, like boarding passes. Not collect them really, but rather stuff them into pockets of whatever coat or jacket I may have been wearing at the time and leave them there. Last week I was wearing my black linen jacket on a photo shoot and when I went to put…

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.…

The Right to Say I Did This

Trey, Thank you for your kind words about my WH project. I have never been quite sure what people might think of these photos. Panoramic images can hard to look at, with the distortion and all. It has never bothered me, I embraced the look years ago. But I often wondered with this work, would one see it as a…
