Looking at one photograph at a time
My auto-update for my Adobe CC subscription just downloaded the lates RAW conversion software, version 13.2 which included a note about an update on the inclusion of a new feature called Super Resolution. Having just updated to the RAW 13.1 last December, I did not think this update needed to be investigated. But turns out... Continue Reading →
As I recently announced, I have had my second COVID vaccine shot. By the end of the first day, I knew that I had a been poked in my arm, but I was feeling fine. Day two, perhaps not so much, especially by the end of the day, when I stated feeling a little bit... Continue Reading →
Yes, I just received my second COVID vaccine shot yesterday afternoon. Cool! Just a little bit sore spot on my arm, but otherwise, no issues. Being a science-geek and involved with pharmaceutical development, I believe in the science of vaccines. I have never thought of the earth being flat. I understand that the full immunization...

I am working on a new series of sub-atomic landscapes, which is a place/condition/state that we really cannot fathom. Interestingly physicists have started to determine that what might be occurring in our sub-atomic world is equally relevant to how the universe functions.

I am in the midst of getting everything ready for my solo exhibition opening this afternoon of my Memory Pods series at The Photographer's Eye gallery, which I will be leaving for Escondido within the hour. Nevertheless, I have this image on my desk that seems to haunt me. Yes, the song Strange Brew by... Continue Reading →
Yesterday when discussing Southern Landscapes, about an urban landscape in Waycross, while today is about another Southern Landscape that I encountered five years earlier. The Waycross image has a formalism to it that I think works well with some urban landscapes and for me seemed suited to the subject. This image is probably just the... Continue Reading →
Now and then you see a gallery call for artwork and it triggers some memories. In this case, a call for Southern Landscapes by South x Southeast took me back to the small city of Waycross Georgia in 2009. This was a family visit to my daughter's in-laws who have a ton of relatives in... Continue Reading →
