Looking at one photograph at a time
I think that I have known this for some time; I seem to work a little bit better when working on a dead line, especially when the due date is rapidly approaching. Case in point, an open call for submissions for 'Abstract Photography', with a deadline of Oct 4th. Thus the my new COVID-19 series... Continue Reading →
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. 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 →
During this pandemic I started a series that is pretty much based on creating abstract images. Which is actually not that new for me. When I made a transition from photography to painting in the mid-1980's and to gain some understanding of the various mediums, my artwork was pretty representational. When you looked at my...

Yesterday, I felt like crap. Which is how one usually feels when they are beset with a bacterial infection, especially in the earlier stages and the meds have not fully taken effect (e.g. some bacteria is still creating some internal havoc). About all that I could accomplish yesterday was to look for an image that... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
First, just to be sure we are on the same page that with the naked eye we cannot see a virus like COVID-19, least photographing it as these micro particles are just too damn small. Which is why the pandemic is such an issue; you cannot see the lurking danger. You can see a human... 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 →
