Looking at one photograph at a time
Entrance (from the series Insomnia: Hotel Noir) I have decided to end my every Friday blog post ArtBiz101 series for a number of reasons. First, I was finding that I was spending more time on researching the material for this series, which was taking away time from my own art projects. I had flirted with the idea that...

Four Palms (from the series: A Sideways Glance)
Freeway Signs and Hilltop Home (From the series: A Sideways Glance) Following up on yesterdays thought, I have noticed another subtle change as I have gone digital.

Price can be further refined into two parts, Wholesale Price and Retail Price. Retail Price is probably the easiest to understand as we... 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 →
I know that I have been lagging on writing some additonal artist statements about some of the newer series that I have posting on my web site. I am not sure of the reluctance because I seem to chase anything else but that task. I am very sure that it is a case of avoidance. So why doing... Continue Reading →
