Warning: science-geek alert! Over the last few days I have been looking at my metaphoric 'portrait' of the COVID-19 portrait I had posted earlier. Hmmmm, the resulting photograph just did not seem 'evil' enough, even if we know something like a virus or a bacteria is not necessary 'evil', but these little buggers can wreck... Continue Reading →
Diary; July 19th – Website updates
The one aspect of a maintaining an artistic website is that it's relatively 'static', which really means that it just lurks out there in never-space just waiting for someone to find it. Not something I find myself constantly tweaking or adding content. Versus social media, like this blog, that is consider 'active', where I am... Continue Reading →
Diary; July 18th, 2020 – Photographing COVID-19
First, just to be sure we are on the same page that with the naked eye we cannot see a virus like COVID-19, least photographing it as these micro particles are just too damn small. Which is why the pandemic is such an issue; you cannot see the lurking danger. You can see a human... Continue Reading →

This urban landscape photograph was made at the start of my journey and part of my ten-minute rule to become creatively... Continue Reading →

Memory Pods > 3D virtual exhibition
I am very honored to be included in a new 3-Dimensional virtual gallery exhibition with Fabrik Projects, Here Comes the Sun, featuring artwork from my Memory Pod series.
