After the first of the year, I will be returning to China for another two to three weeks. This time I will be at PingHu in the Zhejiang Providence, which is actually near JiaXing where I was at in October - Novemeber. You have to know which Providence for PingHu, as there are about six cities... Continue Reading →
Art is a Verb
Well, first, I am not sure that I have fully bought into the 'Art is a Verb' thing. So I thought I might take a very big liberty and quote Colin from our off-line discussion about an image that I had posted on Stills for comments. But after thinking about this, I do not feel that is not... Continue Reading →
Open to possibilities
Expecting rain today, so I planned to stay off the dirt roads. But no rain (yet), but it has made as far South as LA county. Surprise, instead there was fog! Last night, since I was expecting rain, I also thought I could sleep in a little more as there probably be not much to... Continue Reading →
Palm Lane
Palm Lane is another image that is being considered for my series Transitional Seam. And I find myself reconsidering what my intent is for this project as I keep proceeding. I had expected to create an equal amount of images of the new homes and businesses in this area. But lately it seems like I have... Continue Reading →

As to how to identify the folio with... Continue Reading →
Pending Development – Lake Elsinore
Pending Development is another image that I am considering for my series Transitional Seam. Last week, I was driving around the Lake Elsinore area again, some what fasinated that near this large man-made lake that there are some very undeveloped areas, if not usually in some state of disrepair. In the neighboring Orange or San Diego... Continue Reading →
Stalled Development
This image is potentially going to be in my series Transitional Seam. I have noticed that since returning from my recent trip, that I am starting posting an image a day and putting the words "Photo of the Day", but then realized that was kinda of dumb. It is the photo that I blog that... Continue Reading →
Print pricing
One of the stickier things that artists have to deal with is pricing their work, which is something that I have been avoiding for the better part of the year. But with the pending publication of my folio and that I need some funds to invest in some equipment, I have to come to grips... Continue Reading →
