Looking at one photograph at a time
Over the holidays I was re-examining my 2018 project Middle Ground and thinking that since CalTrans has demolished almost all of the iconic San Diego freeway median I had photographed, perhaps this project might now warrant a second look in a gallery space in San Diego county?

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.
