Crop Circles (from the series: Ethereal Images) I find that I am influenced by many things, experiences and occurances. Some influences are very overt and obvious, others not so and maybe latent memories, that unconsious stuff. For my series Bad Trip - Sad Trip, to me, the initial artisitc intent was an obvious photographic documentation of folk art that was being expressed... Continue Reading →
Photo Editing
I think that editing is one of the harder tasks to do as an artist. When you are developing an image, what do you select, when do you start, what do you include, what do you exclude, when do you stop??? I love the no-bainers.

Freeway Series: backyard landscape
This is a backyard that I have been watching for the for the last couple of months as I drive this section of the I-15 freeway. Not a lot has happen here, maybe the 1950's Ford pick up has moved a tad bit. Still your basic dirt yard landscaping. Another difference with the Coastal Freeway, if a brick wall...
