Looking at one photograph at a time
Wow, what a week. This entire week was pretty topsy-turvey with the 2020 American elections and on Tuesday is was a toss-up as the voting counting for the day came to an end, but some good omens were becoming evident. Likewise Wednesday, Thursday into Friday, Biden & Harris were making strong gains and then on... Continue Reading →
While working on my roadside remembrance series, this was a memorial I came across in Victorville CA located on a I-15 frontage road at an intersection into a small neighborhood. I had photographed this in mid-October and the sustaining memorial had been prepared for the Halloween season. From what I heard, the mother of Mark,... Continue Reading →

I am not sure where I recall reading that Abstraction in art is relative to the eyes of the beholder. Or maybe that's just my rendition on the subject.

picture With the passing of another Labor Day holiday weekend, it is always a nice time to fondly look back on the various summer events. Perhaps with the exception of this year, as with an out-of-control pandemic raging in America, this was anything but a wonderful summer. No family gatherings, vacation trips, celebration parties, exhibition... Continue Reading →
My Medium Photo workshop, Developing a Creative Book, due to the COVID-19 pandemic has taken some interesting twists and turns. I think we have now sorted everything out and this workshop is back on track to start later this September. Initially this was going to be a four-day hands-on workshop with everyone participating together in... Continue Reading →
Another month, another painting. For a while now I have been working on some representational studies inspired by my artist book, Bluewater Shore. These acrylic studies are not large, about 16 x 16" on rag paper. After a break of almost twenty years from painting, I find that getting my brush stokes, layering and color-mixing...
