Looking at one photograph at a time
I am working on a new series of sub-atomic landscapes, which is a place/condition/state that we really cannot fathom. Interestingly physicists have started to determine that what might be occurring in our sub-atomic world is equally relevant to how the universe functions.

In this case, a call for Southern Landscapes by South x Southeast took me back to the small city of Waycross Georgia in 2009. This was a family visit to my daughter's in-laws who have a ton of relatives in... Continue Reading →

This image, LSTa0053, is another interesting mashup of caustic networks with other refractions. I note that there is almost a transition point between the basic two types of refractions, something I will explore during... Continue Reading →

I know that 'promoting' these events is suppose to be all sorts of social... Continue Reading →
