Looking at one photograph at a time
In 2017 I self-published my limited edition artist book Bluewater Shore. This is a flip-book design that uses vernacular photographs to recreate a semi-fictional story about a group of young women who shortly after the end of WWII decided to go a on an all-girl's trip to the shore. Without any escorts. Gasp! As been... Continue Reading →
As I recently posted, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, my two-person exhibition at The Photographer's Eye gallery in Escondido (San Diego County) is delayed by one month. I just received the new exhibition dates; February 20th - March 20th, 2021. Nice start to 2021! I will be exhibiting thirteen images from my Memory Pods series in conjunction... Continue Reading →
I have been revisiting my earlier photographs for my Roadside Remembrance series and how these two photographs of a site outside of San Antonio Texas impacted my artistic direction on this series. I was heading to a place that I found on the internet that had the potential of some rapid running water, when I... Continue Reading →

We know you have worked hard on this body of work and we want to encourage you to keep putting it out there and making work that matters to you.... Continue Reading →
So my angst; I feel that I have been working predominately in one style, what I have termed documentary-style landscape photography, very representational work, and now very intrigued and investigating a completely different direction in my artwork. I could rationalize that this might be confusing to my collectors, but I have so few, would this... Continue Reading →
The one aspect of a maintaining an artistic website is that it's relatively 'static', which really means that it just lurks out there in never-space just waiting for someone to find it. Not something I find myself constantly tweaking or adding content. Versus social media, like this blog, that is consider 'active', where I am... Continue Reading →
The fifth year of photographing my botanical subjects that comprise my Memory Pods series has somewhat drawn to an end. I now have another small collection of dried twigs and seed pods to play with later this year. The flowering/seeding cycle for my backyard plants starts sometime in March and ends towards the end of... Continue Reading →
I am in the midst of preparing one of my Bewilderment photographic prints for a new home, courtesy of Los Angles Center of Photography's (LACP) Artsy.net exhibition. The exhibition ran through June 30th, that I announced earlier. This is one of the smaller print in an edition of five and the image size is 7" x... Continue Reading →
