Looking at one photograph at a time
Last Spring there was a conversation that Paul Butzi initiated about essentially either going wider (broader context) or deeper (more in-depth) regarding your own artistic development. I believe that this concept can be applied in a variety of ways regarding artistic development. As I continue my series A Sideways Glance, I find that as I look, see and... Continue Reading →
Fishing (from the series A Sideways Glance) An image made earlier in the week, but I have fine tuned it today for this post. I enjoy flyfishing and as many times as I have driven by the dinky associated man-made lake that this rock sign is beckoning the passing drivers to, I have never had any inclinication...

Tired Bones Just a quick note that the Orange County Mueseum of Art (OCMA) on-line art auction will be stopping in about 4 hours. My print above, Tired Bones, is currently in the top ten of the on-line bid items. The live auction will be tomorrow afternoon. Nice opportunity to obtain an archivally printed, matted and framed...

Four Palms (from the series: A Sideways Glance)
Working home office, I-15 (from the series: A Sideways Glance) I have recovered enough from my viral infection to be back on the road again and to take up working on this series. Yesterday was more of a survival day on the road, least I worry about this series. But hopefully I was doing more observing than... Continue Reading →
Skateboard Memorial (from the series: Bad Trip - Sad Trip) One of the nice things about showing your images to your friends, in this case the collaborative photoblog Stills that I am a member of, you get wonderful feedback, on both technical and esthetics concerns. A reoccuring comment for my images, especially if taken of the urban landscape,... Continue Reading →

This was further confirmed by Paul's and Julie's comments to my earlier posts. I can image Paul Lester and I on a plane trip... Continue Reading →
Crop Circles (from the series: Ethereal Images) I find that I am influenced by many things, experiences and occurances. Some influences are very overt and obvious, others not so and maybe latent memories, that unconsious stuff. For my series Bad Trip - Sad Trip, to me, the initial artisitc intent was an obvious photographic documentation of folk art that was being expressed... Continue Reading →
Okay, I have to admit, I am still under the weather with this flu thing, so when I was doing some crusing through some blogs, I came across this question; Should an artist paint from a photograph? Duh?? I guess so if you are such a crappy photographer and you can't get it right the first... Continue Reading →
Hidden Wreath (from the series Bad Trip - Sad Trip) I've been a little down in the weather the last couple of days, some kind of flu bug that enables me to sleep for long periods of time. Also since I am not moving around much, more time for reflection. Thus, so why do I... Continue Reading →
