  • A Study In Art

    I started tinkering with some out takes, using black and white filters. Eventually, I arrived at this image. I’m still thinking about it. I’m still not sure if it’s good or garbage. I do like how the bazillion leaves seem to be shimmering and fluttering. On to everybody’s favorite topic, generative AI. I’ve been in…

  • Fixing Stuff

    I’m sure that you remember that I lived in Albuquerque for about five years as a refugee after New Orleans was about 80% flooded by Hurricane Katrina. It’s a bit of irony, but I didn’t make these photographs at that time. I made them well before. I like New Mexico so I traveled there frequently.…

  • Desert Flowers

    I really like this picture but I didn’t see it until about the fourth time around in the culling process. It’s just that subtle. It was very hard to edit. Too much movement in either direction — lightening or darkening — and the picture is ruined. That can be a problem for me because I’m…

  • 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…

  • Light ‘Em Up

    Light. That’s how pictures are made. It’s not even debatable until it is. Photography is Greek (No, it’s not all Greek to me) for either painting with light, or, drawing with light. That’s how it was. That’s how it is. That’s how it always will be. It will remain that way no matter how many…

  • Four Days Gone

    The work is the prayer.

  • Never

    I promise you, I never make self portraits. Selfies are a thing that I think are exceptionally narcissistic. I accidentally took a picture of myself that I kinda liked, because I intentionally made myself look wrinkly and dry old. I experimented with that for a while, but you never saw them. Ugh. I don’t really…

  • As I Saw It

    Travel photography. Only richer and fuller. This photograph was made in Seligman, Arizona on Route 66. The editing came out of my head. Late at night where most good things happen.
