  • Color Play

    This is an experiment, pure and simple. It is an image created from three layers of photographs. It even has the kitchen sink. No. Really. It does. See that blue round circle with the orange barrel protruding from it? That’s the drain to our old kitchen sink. I did this because I could and I…

  • Rain

    Every time that we try to run errands a storm passes through and soaks us. This time I thought I’d strike back and photograph the storm even though blue hour had long passed. I was really working in available darkness. I was also using my iPhone 14 Pro blah, blah, blah. I had no idea…

  • Noticing

    We looked at each other and we knew. That’s how it started years ago. It happened again today while we were listening to a podcast. That’s nothing new. We listen to four or five a day. But this one. Ezra Klein talks to Rick Rubin. For those who don’t know, Rubin is an A class…

  • Colors

    I like the caption better than I like the headline. Okay, the title. The base image is of the past. It’s a long story, but many, many years ago, my Dad thought that he wanted to work as a watch maker. Like me, he lacked the patience to do that kind of meticulous work. That’s…

  • Gently Weeps

    The world gone wrong. “One of the bloggers that I read posted a funny meme. It said something along the lines of, “2020 sounded so futuristic. Today, I traded a handkerchief for a carrot.” Besides the huge irony, those words struck me as being one of the funniest things that I’d read recently. There’s always…

  • I Can See It In Your Eyes

    This is a pretty good way to start the work week. Don’tcha think? I’m pretty sure that if we start out on a positive note, the negative curve will flatten. Even a little helps. It’s important because a lot of people are really starting to feel it. Depression is in the air. That’s a pretty…

  • Illegal Smile

    Just give me one good season. So sang John Prine. The singing mailman. A national treasure. He’s got Covid19. He’s been intubated. He’s 72. He’s beaten cancer twice. He’s been through chemo. He’s been radiated. He’s probably got even more underlying issues. His family asked from prayers last night. You know what to do. I…

  • Beyond the Horizon

    I was bored. Then I got inspired. That lead to a burst of creativity. This picture emerged from the “stay at home blues.” I believe that art comes from somewhere else. Call the inspiration, God. Or, Buddha. Or, Ronald McDonald. Doesn’t matter. An artist  is lucky if he or she knows that they are just…

  • Respect

    Call this “Coffee Pods III.” I was emptying the little bin in the espresso maker when my phone pinged. The Associated Press was telling me that Aretha Franklin just passed. I never knew her. I photographed her once. In the days of black and white film processed in a newspaper’s wet darkroom for publication the…
