  • 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…

  • Abandoned and Creative

    If I could have gotten closer I might have made another picture, a better picture. I couldn’t because it was tucked away behind a high fence. Given the condition of this basketball hoop with no backboards, the chains that made up the net are hanging and the actually hoop is bent downward, I’m pretty sure…

  • Left Behind I’ve had an interesting week in Storytellerland. I’ve experimented with synthetic media and I closed with my more traditional layering of photographs to create this image of what we left behind. As you know, I’m starting to work on a project about what we, as a country, leave behind. It’s not enough that…

  • Train Time

    I think you know that I like trains. You also know that I like junk. So what could be better than a junk train? If memory serves I found this abandoned and mostly forgotten train on the eastern plains of New Mexico. I have no idea why it was left there, but there are abandoned…

  • From The Beginning

    I have plans, although January 2023 tossed them in a big box and gave them a good shaking. We travel a lot. Aside from the general dirtiness of most American cities, I see a lot. Most of the country is covered in cast offs. Broken cars. Broken trucks. Broken trains. Just dumped where ever they…

  • Four Days Gone

    The work is the prayer.

  • Can I Keep It?

    I found this train. They wouldn’t let me keep it. There used to be a broken down old shed in Jefferson Parish. Oschner Hospital converted it into their clinic space. The first time I went there to see my doctor, this is what I saw. Eventually, the hospital installed a fence and moved the old…

  • Among the Ruins

    What’s behind. These pictures make my old urbex roaming look pretty good. I always felt safe. It was like playing soldier, always remembering two things. Slow is smooth and smooth fast. And, if you can see the enemy, the enemy can see you. I hate to think of the citizens of New Orleans as the…

  • Photography’s End

    Oh my. The photographers among you aren’t going to like this. I made these pictures by typing words into some AI software and it generated these four pictures. No camera, no lenses, no post production. Well, just a little to resize the image which caused a small loss in sharpness. Trust me. It’s tack sharp.…
