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 →
Photographer’s Eye exhibition – Memory Pods on Hahnemuehle Metallic
Back in July when I first wrote about experimenting with the Hahnemuehle Photo Rag Metallic I had closed my article with a question as to whether to frame these photographs under glazing, whether it is museum glass or acrylic. My concern is with the potential loss of luminosity under a layer of glazing. My final... Continue Reading →
Bluewater Shore – Ferry Crossing – Acrylic study
Another month, another painting. For a while now I have been working on some representational studies inspired by my artist book, Bluewater Shore. These acrylic studies are not large, about 16 x 16" on rag paper. After a break of almost twenty years from painting, I find that getting my brush stokes, layering and color-mixing...

Diary; August 11th 2020 – Not in the Critical Mass 200 (this year)
Hello... I know that it is always a let down to receive these types of emails, but please remember that the jurors’ opinions are entirely subjective.

Diary; August 8th, 2020 – Abstract Art – Take 2
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 →
Diary; July 19th – Website updates
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 →
Diary; July 16th, 2020 – Memory Pods
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 →
LACP Fundraising Artsy.net exhibition
I am honored to be participating in the Los Angeles Center of Photography (LACP) members fundraising exhibition which is being hosted on-line with Artsy.net. This is a short exhibition time-frame, June 16th through June 30th. I think that this is a nice response to the current COVID-19 conditions, which is a win-win for LACP and... Continue Reading →
Memory Pods > 3D virtual exhibition
I am very honored to be included in a new 3-Dimensional virtual gallery exhibition with Fabrik Projects, Here Comes the Sun, featuring artwork from my Memory Pod series. On top of that, the Beatles (hopefully the exhibition title seems just a little familiar) was one of my favorite bands in the late 1960's. I had... Continue Reading →
