Looking at one photograph at a time
Over the last couple of days I have been working on my limited edition artist book that I will provide to each participant in my Medium Photo book development workshop, which will be starting later this month. Usually this is a bit of surprise on the first day of class when I start the workshop... Continue Reading →
picture With the passing of another Labor Day holiday weekend, it is always a nice time to fondly look back on the various summer events. Perhaps with the exception of this year, as with an out-of-control pandemic raging in America, this was anything but a wonderful summer. No family gatherings, vacation trips, celebration parties, exhibition... Continue Reading →
Growing up, Labor Day meant that as a kid that summer vacation was coming to an end and the school year was about to start, usually later that week. Since summer vacation was about over, that also meant that the cooler fall weather would be quickly approaching. In the mid-west state of Michigan, that meant... Continue Reading →
My Medium Photo workshop, Developing a Creative Book, due to the COVID-19 pandemic has taken some interesting twists and turns. I think we have now sorted everything out and this workshop is back on track to start later this September. Initially this was going to be a four-day hands-on workshop with everyone participating together... Continue Reading →

So my angst; I feel that I have been working predominately in one style, what I have termed documentary-style landscape photography, very representational work, and now very intrigued and investigating a completely different direction in my artwork. I could rationalize that this might be confusing to my collectors, but I have so few, would this... Continue Reading →
During this pandemic I started a series that is pretty much based on creating abstract images. Which is actually not that new for me. When I made a transition from photography to painting in the mid-1980's and to gain some understanding of the various mediums, my artwork was pretty representational. When you looked at my...

Yesterday, I felt like crap. Which is how one usually feels when they are beset with a bacterial infection, especially in the earlier stages and the meds have not fully taken effect (e.g. some bacteria is still creating some internal havoc). About all that I could accomplish yesterday was to look for an image that... Continue Reading →
