Options Change Ahead

I know about missed photo opportunities. I ‘ve had a few. Sometimes like you, I say I’ll be back. Other times I am just in a hurry and don’t feel like stopping. Once in England I was traveling in the north in Yorkshire. I had hired a car and driver for the day to show me and my assistant a…

Chance Meetings and Enduring Friendship

I am still pondering the story about Dona and how to best present it. It is an interesting story about chance meetings and enduring friendship. But it also reminds me how dependent my life’s work has been about chance meetings and following the end of my nose. Very little of the work I have done in my life is the…

Going Nowhere in Particular

I am glad you like my little ferry image. Nice little back story to that one. I was fairly new to Seattle and not always busy with work. I was friends with a guy who was a free spirit and like me, loved to make photographs. We would do this thing he called space cruising. We would set a time…

My Dark Room Days Were Numbered

Just before high end digital cameras came into being, most photographers got scanners to facilitate digital deliver to clients. For a while there service bureaus, remember those? Designers would take film there to be scanned as well as get other digital output stuff. The going rate for a 50meg scan was $50. Photographers said hey, we should be doing that…

Just so Much Data

I am mailing out your prints today. Snail mail. Look for them. When you get them you will find 7 prints and a CD. Without looking at them closely or reading the notes on the back of each print, lay them all out in good light. Good light is a relative term. I laid them out on the floor of…

The Perfect Drink

That’s a very cool story. Other than Carter’s Rome martini, I don’t really have any perfect drink memories/stories. I have a few funny ones like drinking vodka and schnapps with Russians, who frankly, would have drunk turpentine had it been placed in front of them. The drinks spark the memory of the moment. Beer with a Czech artist in Kadan.…

Toast to the Good Ole Days

Ralph, I had read the reviews of the various machines. It seems the water rowers had the nice sound and pleasant experience. But changing resistance could only be done manually by adding or removing water. Ok, could live with that, but my main consideration was the seat distance from the ground. It had to be high enough for Carter to…

1960s Cyan Cast Ektachrome Look

Matthew, You raise interesting questions about my older work and how I might bring it to my newer work. For many reasons, is not entirely possible really. My older work was mostly black and white. I saw in black and white. I have lost that ability, or should I said  am rusty at it. I see color now, and converting…
