  • The Country

    Minimal Let’s how far I can write. I repaired the keyboard, sort of. The space bar is hanging up. I popped it open, cleaned it out, but found a tension spring that could not be realigned because it was bent. I have a spare keyboard, but we moved so finding it will be fun. I…

  • Boom, Like That

    This is a spring picture. There is no question about it. It’s a little bit elderly because I made it in New Mexico. I did a lot of work to it. I made it into what approximates a painting. I also cropped it radically. I particularly like the colors. They are very bright and punchy.…

  • 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…

  • 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.…

  • 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…

  • Desert Spring Let’s take a break from the now world of synthetic media and look at springtime in the high desert of New Mexico. Unlike so many places spring isn’t varying shades of green. The color there is bold and beautiful. Of course, there are many places where there is more than green. But, this….…

  • 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…

  • Everywhere

    Nature on my mind. My archival plumbings are yielding forgotten and amazing imagery. I surprise myself. I’m pretty sure I used to work very hard. But, I cannot remember when. Ever feel that way? It could be because it never felt like work. A hobby job is what a friend of mine once called it.

  • Ah Ha Moment

    Sandias at Dusk I was coming home from photographing something when I made a stop at the local grocery store. I was out of storage so my DSLR was dead for the time being. I parked and looked up and saw this scene. I was wishing I had another card when a thought struck me.…
