  • Mystery Picture

    Before we take another step forward, I have no idea what I did to achieve this effect. My fingers slipped on the screen and Snapseed did something, but I don’t what. When I saw the unintended result I liked it so I kept going. Mostly, I slightly darkened and sharpened the final image. So. AI…

  • Desert Rose

    As you know I can’t be trusted. I change on a whim. Sometimes without a good reason. This time I have a good reason, for me. Yes. I’m still working on the picture a day project. No. Not all of the pictures are ready for prime time. However, I discovered a huge file of desert…

  • Out On The Road

    If you’ve read Storyteller for any length of time you know that I like motion blur, low golden light and that I often work from a moving car. These two pictures illustrate that. I also like to roam around looking for pictures. I work by one philosophy. “”Don’t take the picture, let the picture take…

  • This Is The City I was working in Los Angeles, which was fun because I grew up there, well, really in Long Beach, which is different but kind of the same. I was doing another book assignment with a long list of potential subjects. One was The Disney Music Hall. I wandered around the entire…

  • Left Behind

    When I first arrived in New Orleans I was told a lot of different things about this building. It was said to be a cannon ball manufacturing plant during the Civil War. It may be that there was another building on the land that did make something during the war, but this building was constructed…

  • Shanghai Dreams

There are neighborhoods like the old French Concession that look much as they did in the 1930s. The buildings are western styled, the…

  • A Long Time Ago

    O nce upon a time I lived in Los Angeles. My habit of wandering around began years before, but it was revived when I lived there, this time in color. I was looking around on Sunday near what was then called, “The Blue Whale,” when I saw it. A 1930s gas station. It was still…

  • Say No More

    What does it mean? It means whatever you want it to mean. Me? Current situation. It could mean some high techie thing, but my interpretation Is about the world as we currently find it. Confused. Too much information. Not enough information. Too much noise. No signal. It seems that the world has become an unforgiving…

  • The past. My journey through the past. A couple of you said that you’d like to look at my work prior to your arrival at Storyteller. Very cool. I thought that I would work from June and as far back as I could go. I made this photograph in downtown Los Angeles. California. 20 miles…
