And I just heard that about 500 homes burned... Continue Reading →
Frontage Road Home (from the series: Transitional Seam) In preparation for my trip to Europe and Asia starting next week, I am anticipating spending some time on my artistic statements for the various series that I have been working on recently. For what I read, it is recommended that writing the artistic statement is where you should... Continue Reading →
This morning I printed my latest pairing of images for my hand made book, that of the Heart Broken Fence and Halloween Costume, both of which I photographed earlier this week and recently posted images of. I am now finding myself making some more image adjustment tweaks to help ensure the continuity of the pairing. ... Continue Reading →
