Looking at one photograph at a time
This has not been a fun week or a fun month. So now I am in the midst of fighting a second infection and taking precautions that the two meds don't interact. This is also messing with my diet, exercise plan, day-job, and all things creative. Thank goodness this is not COVID related, but the... Continue Reading →
So for some reason today has started out as what I would call a Low-Energy Day. Just don't feel inspired to really do anything at all, maybe just go back to bed. I think that the current events of the lurking dangers of COVID-19, the total lack of Federal government leadership in America to control this... Continue Reading →
Warning: science-geek alert! Over the last few days I have been looking at my metaphoric 'portrait' of the COVID-19 portrait I had posted earlier. Hmmmm, the resulting photograph just did not seem 'evil' enough, even if we know something like a virus or a bacteria is not necessary 'evil', but these little buggers can wreck... Continue Reading →
My experimentation/play series of organic abstraction during the COVID-19 pandemic has also included some printing evaluations using dye sublimation printing process on clear base aluminum. I have been working with three west-coast California print labs on this printing project and they all have a slight variation on what to call this process and medium such as HD Metal,...

I am a bit compulsive and even when I have few other things to do, I still deferred to work on the rough edit of this body of work. Which is now done. Whew! So the final tally is 190 photographs winnowed down from the original 4,000 photographs I made while in China. Not all... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I discussed my Zombie Photography process, which lends itself to my process-based organic abstractions, while I see this is just one step in the making of my final artwork. The real goal is to develop a lumenescent print that emphasize how the colors, shapes and forms change as the viewer's perception of the artwork... Continue Reading →
I find it very interesting in how one thing then relates to another, a kind of creative synthesis. While investigating the possible creative origins of my earlier Organic Abstract Expressionism photograph, I found out about the Light and Space movement from the 1980's and then the somewhat current Process-Based Abstraction movement. Thus this article's title as... Continue Reading →
Over the past week, I published two articles, experimental/play and covid-19 impact, in conjunction with using a new series of photographs that I have been creating. I am trying to get my head around this new series of experimental photographs that appear like an organic versions of the Abstract Expressionist movement form the 1950's and... Continue Reading →
Recently when I wrote about being surprised when I returned to the studio to find a totally unexpected as well as unimaginable landscape, I was poked about being surprised about the resulting images. If I were on a commercial shoot, I would probably being evaluating each frame, as a client is not going to pay... Continue Reading →
Last night I had an opportunity to present my on-going Memory Pods project at Open Show LA, an event that is part of Month of Photography Los Angeles (MoPLA). I was really honored by those my friends who attended and supported this presentation (Gerry Clausing, Sarah Lee, Chris Davies, Debe Arlook, Deborah Davis, Cia Foreman,... Continue Reading →
