Life’s a Beach

Hey girlfriend, I am glad your trip was a big success. I assumed it would be. How can a trip down memory lane with old friends go wrong? I love this image of us. You should send me a copy or a file I can print and stash away in my ever expanding collection of stuff. I have been in…

Return to Farmville

Based on request from one of my stock agencies based in London, I went looking through the archives. They wanted more imagery that says, America. I don't really go in search of that type of imagery, but not being particularly busy and looking for distractions of any kind, I went nosing around and ended up back in Farmville, Virginia. A…

Immaculate and Deadpan – Athens, Ohio 1982

John, I hope these arrive safely. I would rather ship prints flat, but with tubes, they are safer and cheaper to ship. this is why I confirmed your snail mail address. I don’t know if you remember this shoot I did at OU in the fall of 1982, but it was a small project I did with one of dead…

For What it is Worth

I am sorta floundering around right now. Not particularly sure what I want or should be planning for. Thankfully I still have a few interesting clients, but I have always had trouble with doing personal projects. I need to have them in a greater context. Not just necessarily for money, but at least for more than my singular…

Happy New Year

It is through my photographs that I am acutely aware of the passage of time. The photographic image fixes a place or moment and time stops. Until the next image alters that truth. Last summer I made an image such as this, and called it the perfect moment. And it was, then. But it was a fleeting moment, ephemeral and…

Home, Sweet Home

I should clarify about the housing here. My first home did cost $92k in 1994 and I sold it for $200k in 2001. Probably would sell for maybe as much $300k today. The $700 is the average price of homes in this area now. My first home was a co op in an old building built in the 1920's. A…

It’s Just a Piece of Paper

The events of the past few months has made me wonder the value of my work. I suppose the short answer is, whatever someone will pay for it. But can the value be quantified in mere terms of dollars and cents? There is sentimental value, there is historic value, there are kinds of ways to value things. But the flood…

Dreams Come in Many forms

I have always found that often when one door closes, another opens to offer other opportunities. In 1994 I was teaching part time at UW in the photo department. They also had a full time tenure track position open that I applied for. I really, really wanted the gig, even though I knew I wouldn’t get it. I knew they…

My Little Oasis

Jack, About Rock Walk first. This is perfect. AS it turns out I have a 48” print in inventory. And fortunately it wasn’t stored in my basement, but rather framed and stored on the wall of a client. I can send you the print and recycle the frame to another client, looking for a print of mine that size. So…

Good on This Day Only

I was rummaging through my archives recently when I found this badge form a visit to Microsoft land. I looked at the date and wondered why I was there. I did a fair amount of work with them back then, but couldn't recall the specific project I was working on that might have had me at their offices on that…
