Looking at one photograph at a time
In yesterdays post about my new series Quantum Elements and a small series within in the larger body of work that I am calling Time-Refractory Abstractions, I suspect that the image I shared might be a bit visually overwhelming. There is a lot going on within the image. Nevertheless, I think that makes it a... Continue Reading →
I think that I have known this for some time; I seem to work a little bit better when working on a dead line, especially when the due date is rapidly approaching. Case in point, an open call for submissions for 'Abstract Photography', with a deadline of Oct 4th. Thus the my new COVID-19 series... Continue Reading →
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.

Another month, another painting. For a while now I have been working on some representational studies inspired by my artist book, Bluewater Shore. These acrylic studies are not large, about 16 x 16" on rag paper. After a break of almost twenty years from painting, I find that getting my brush stokes, layering and color-mixing...

Just a quick heads-up that due to the pandemic and still the need to social distance here in Southern California, my book workshop is morphing into a virtual event via Zoom. We are still working on the details and dates, but should still be launching at the end of next month (September). Preparing for this... Continue Reading →

We know you have worked hard on this body of work and we want to encourage you to keep putting it out there and making work that matters to you.... 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 →
