I will have to admit, my Middle Ground project took off faster than I was prepared for that in quick succession I was offered a solo exhibition, which then required the production/launch of my artist book. In retrospect, I think I knew who my audience was, but maybe not as well as I could have.... Continue Reading →
Bird’s nest
In a slight departure from mostly discussing my photographic projects, I am posting this bird's nest photograph from my morning walk today. It is entirly a staged composition.

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? What I had not realized at the time... Continue Reading →
