David’s Garden

I had the pleasure of hanging out with a good friend of mine and photo guru, David E. Perry yesterday morning. He is a master gardener and makes brilliant photographs to boot. And the frittata was pretty kicking as well. It was nice to exchange ideas and talk about the visual medium for which we share a common passion. It was a…

Then You Remember Why it Came to an End

Just saying hello, Seems like forever since we chatted. Everything ok in you world? Lavelle asked me about processing some photos and said they were working with a different designer. That you had things to take care of. Is everything ok? I hope so. We last chatted around the time of your sister’s death and I hope the sadness…

Fishing With Walter

Hey man, I have had a moderately busy summer myself. Despite my broken finger, which is healing nicely actually, I have been doing a bunch of print making. A dealer in DC sold a huge (30x72” image size) print to a client there. An old one too, black and white film image made with the Widelux camera. It was cool…

O The Market

As we now enter that precious time of year in the Pacific NW called summer, those of us who live here say yes... this is why we live here. We endure the cloudy, wet days, because we know the gods of weather will give us a sweet, but short period of great beauty. A time where we can enjoy long…

My Pretty Garden

Trey, I am sorry to hear about your Parkinson's disease. That must be a blow. How are you dealing with it? I wish I could help in some way. I know you have a great wealth of friends for support, so that must be reassuring in some way. I just wish I give you a few hugs right now. Aging…

Nicolette, So nice to meet with you yesterday and share my work with you. Had I known more about you, I might have prepared a different presentation. The fine art world has always been my passion, but it has been the worlds of commerce and academia that have supported that passion over the years. But it was a pleasant surprise…

Fundación Valparaíso

Mel In Spain, summer 1994 20 years ago today I step off a plane in Madrid in a jet lagged stupor. I had never traveled abroad and it was all so foreign to me. And to think it almost didn't happen. In 1993, the then directors of Fundación Valparaíso were visiting their son who lived in Seattle at the time. To…

Space Cruise

Richard,I guess news travels fast. It would be great to see you if you can make it. I plan to wear my Widelux around my neck as a bit of a homage to John. I can’t recall when I last saw John, but it was after I had closed my darkroom in 2006 and before I handed off my 2nd…

Some things Change Slowly

Hi Mel, The last year or so there's been a tremendous turnover at the PV. Ruth and Brenda have died, Della and Ada have gone to nursing homes, we moved Ted into the Wilsonian and Beverly finally sold. I think you already knew Cyra left a year ago. Pat Ryan has had a court-appointed guardian for about a year, but…

Because Life is a Journey

I was checking out my Facebook news feed today and saw one of those sill tests people post. What kind of animal are you? What kind of artist are you? What is your favorite food type? What city should you live in? Then you answer about 10 generic dumb questions and voila... you are stereotyped. But I did do this…
