Looking at one photograph at a time
For those who are looking for a nice last minute holiday gift, I have a few potential books for you to consider; a really great gift idea for someone special who really enjoy a small edition book object to read and treasure. Good news: any of these books can be quickly arranged to be delivered... Continue Reading →
The gallery just sent me a photo of my hanging Memory Pods mini-exhibition during their Holiday Group exhibit. I will have to admit that there appears to be some odd pinkish lighting on the right side of this photo, but I am guessing it probably has something to do with some holiday lighting that is...

I am very happy to announce my next Developing a Creative Book workshop with Medium Photo for March, 19-22, 2020. The slight change for the workshop is with all of the great feedback from those who have attended is a consensus that two days was just toooo intense for the material we needed to cover....

From the heart warming movie Field of Dreams; if you build a (baseball) fields, they will come. Thus the idea behind my purchase earlier this week of a brand-spanking new 24" Canon Pro-2100 printer.

I have been wondering a lot about the relevances of social media for myself and other artists, and perhaps more specifically about staying on Facebook/Instagram.

It is just that when someone suggests that there should... Continue Reading →
