  • That Time In…

    This is one of my reworked archive pictures. Hong Kong taxis waiting for fares at the airport. The line was long and I got bored after an 18 hour plane ride so I started making a few pictures. I wonder how many hours was taken off my life by flying too close to the sun…

  • A Study In Speed

    I’ve always like motion in photographs, well as much as I can bring to a still picture. I think it adds something to a location that speaks to the energy of the place. That’s not to say that I think a city should be photographed at full tilt boogie, but there could be a healthy…

  • All A Dream

    Y’all know I write these little missives a day or two before I actually publish them. So even though you are reading this on Friday, let’s pretend it’s Tuesday. It’s important. When I first started traveling to Asia and especially to Hong Kong, which became my home for six years, I flew exclusively on one…

  • Missing Something

    It took some time. Six years to be precise. Six years of wandering around when I was free enough to focus on making some meaningful pictures. Focus. Pun intended. This work was made long enough ago that it is all made on film. My film of preference, Fuji. Velvia. ISO 50, which we mostly used…

  • Something. Anything.

In New Orleans they are working on the 3/2 plan. Three people are murdered every two days. Even though the city…

  • Shanghai Dreams

    Shanghai, China. For me, it’s one the most interesting cities in China. While some neighborhoods have been modernized, just like almost every city in the country, a lot of it remains untouched. There are neighborhoods like the old French Concession that look much as they did in the 1930s. The buildings are western styled, the…

  • Working For A Living

    A ugust. This is when strong people turn weird. Myself included. After all, this the month of big hurricanes. First came Katrina. On August 29, 2005. Then came Ida. On August 29, 2021. If that doesn’t spook you, nothing will. Katrina was the more destructive of the two, although Ida did her mean spirited thing.…

  • Other Ways

    A doorway to… With no imagination it could be a doorway to the building. With just a little imagination it could be a doorway to the unique. With more imagination it could be the doorway to the universe. You pick. I like that latter. I saw a picture posted on some social media. It was…
