While I was in Eastern China at the beginning of the year, I embarked on a study of the construction and changes occuring there. Thos photographers were subsequently labeled "industrial landscape photography" at the Palm Springs Photo Festival portfolio reviews.

I continue to contemplate the use of Limited Editions for my photographs after my lengthly discussion with Hal Gould while in Denver last week.

While passing through Denver, I had a chance to spend a half day at the Camera Obscura Gallery with Hal Gould and Loretta Young-Gautier. We had a great conversation as we walked the three galleries of images, including the current exhibit of Christopher Burkett. I provided a copy of LensWork #74 with my series In Passing,...

If you scoll down, you will find: Doug Stockdale and my recent SoFoBoBo book Places Amongst Us. very nice. I guess I need to update my web site with some of the images from Places Amongst Us. That will have to go on... Continue Reading →
Still working on the editing of the work from Eastern China. Seems what is working for me now is to concurrently develop the two series, with still the idea that they may come together.
