welcome


I've been thinking about doing this for a while-- a personal blog to photography; my share some thoughts on the subject, but mostly a place to show new work and images in-progress. The image above, for instance, was taken on the granite rocks above the Macal River, in Belize, this past February. It is one of the pieces I will be submitting into a call for entries for a juried show in Portland. I also have a one-man show coming up in August (at the Lunaria Gallery, in Silverton) and I have been reading the writings of Alfred Steiglitz and Minor White in preparation. I also recently spoke with William Giles, who I studied with twenty-something years ago. He had worked with Minor and applied his principles in his own teaching-- the lessons are as fresh as they were then. In our conversation, he said that photography is "the hobby that hugs the heart."
