Looking at one photograph at a time
Ann Mitchell, a local friend of mine, just announced her photographic exhibit in Sacramento and discusses her imagined landscape photographs that comprise her body of work.

Today, Saturday, February 29th, is that odd day that shows up on the calendar every four years that signifies Leap Year. So as good as any reason for a title for this post. Maybe why a walk down into the adjacent canyon that was meant to go for an hour ended up lasting over two... Continue Reading →
I will have to admit, my Middle Ground project took off faster than I was prepared for that in quick succession I was offered a solo exhibition, which then required the production/launch of my artist book.

I just love serendipity. While working on my other projects I had the sinking feeling that my interest in the fictional Mystery on Trabuco Flats project was not going to go anywhere. So totally on the back burner. I thought that having some night photographs might add more to the mystery to my story, but... Continue Reading →
I am continuing to study and evaluate the combination of the photographs for my project Gardening For Ordnance, with the appropriated text from the various documents about this decommissioned military site. I find this to be an interesting process. Being a Charlie Brown guy, I bounce back and forth between making the relationship between the... Continue Reading →
