Looking at one photograph at a time
To pick up again the discussion that was start Sunday by Tim Atherton where he states "the digital B&W images are driving me nuts – not their content, but their “look", recognizing that he is not taking exception to the image content but the presentation and look even giving this blog some kudos for "fun and interesting"...

It seems that I have been chosen to provide examples of what is bad about trying to converting a (digital) color image to black & white by Tim Atherton over on the Large Format Photography Forum. I find this midly amusing, as I was not aware that many could figure out from where source I made the... Continue Reading →
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...

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...

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 →
Lake Zurich and Alps (from the series: Ethereal Images) I do not know why, but I am continually amazed how each of us react to our experiences in our own way. 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 →
