Eating, We All Do It
Food. We gotta eat. When we travel we eat well. That doesn’t mean we eat in five star restaurants. We eat freshly prepared street food, We eat in little cafes and holes in the wall.. We eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables. We eat pho and ramen. We eat bar be que food.…

Like This
These pictures were made in New Mexico mostly while I was making one of the earliest forms of my Picture A Day project and wandering from location to location. The images are also a reasonable approximation of my intent with my rethinking of Storyteller. These aren’t your usual New Mexican pictures. Those will be available…

Sparkle
After such a long written post yesterday I thought I’d give you a break and write next to nothing. Yesterday’s post had to be written. I needed to talk, hopefully you needed to listen and learn something about Chris and about me. I made this picture many years ago in New Orleans, at dusk in…

Magic and Light
Sometimes I get Lucky. Very lucky. I wasn’t even going to go to the Quarter. I went. I couldn’t find parking in my usual far away place. I drove through the streets until a parking place almost right in back of the cathedral appeared. That was luck too. I started walking through the streets, making…

I like making pictures that illustrate motion, generally using a technique that creates some kind of motion blur. This is great fun and there are certain a pretty good amount of them in my archives. For good reason. They never made it out of my files. If you travel somewhere on some kind of assignment,…

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…

In 1925
Riding this nostalgia thing about as far as possible, let’s discuss Las Vegas. The real Las Vegas. The old Las Vegas. The most fun Last Vegas. Las Vegas was born on May 15th, 1905. In 1925 Fremont Street (this place) was paved and called the Strip. In 1931 the ban on gambling was lifted. In…
