I am honored to be participating in the Los Angeles Center of Photography (LACP) members fundraising exhibition which is being hosted on-line with Artsy.net.

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. On top of that, the Beatles (hopefully the exhibition title seems just a little familiar) was one of my favorite bands in the late 1960's. I had... Continue Reading →

Living and Photographing in the Time of COVID-19 – exhibition

My purpose was to take a different photograph... Continue Reading →

You might be thinking you have photographers-block, similar to writers-block or artist-block; encountering a blank slate... Continue Reading →
Hope during a pandemic
I have been venturing out a little bit more recently; mask, hat and all. The weather here in Southern California has been beautiful recently, while this morning we had some coastal fog that did not burn off until about 10am. An ideal morning for taking my camera for a walk (regretfully we do not have... Continue Reading →
Selfie of a photographic artist
A homage to Molly McCall. While reviewing her Momento Vivere portfolio last year, she had created one image, Dissolved, that has really stayed with me. So while getting my eyes checked out earlier this year just as the pandemic was starting to break, I had to have this eye correction gear on to confirm that... Continue Reading →
Earth Day 2020
When thinking of Earth Day, the poetic photograph above as a metaphor for what Earth Day represents for me always seems to come to mind. This was captured in the spring of 2006 and has all of the elements of hope for an Earth Day narrative: trees budding representing a new life, running water as... Continue Reading →
