Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is Near
Monday, April 18th, 2016
This coming Sunday is Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. I really enjoy fooling around with pinhole cameras and try to always participate in this day of pinhole photography. I’ll be running around Sunday with several pinhole-equipped digital cameras. I have a couple commercially made pinholes that mount on my Micro 4/3 cameras, and I plan to […]
W. Eugene Smith Interview
Sunday, October 18th, 2015
This is a good read. An interview of W. Eugene Smith by Philippe Halsmann done in 1956. Smith was a truly unique individual. I met him once. An interesting person. http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/03/w-eugene-smith-i-didnt-write-the-rules-why-should-i-follow-them/?smid=fb-share
As Good As Photography Gets
Thursday, September 24th, 2015
My copy of Streetwise Revisited arrived today. I waited for a quiet moment to spend time with it. I’m glad I took my time. This is Mary Ellen Mark’s last book, finished just before her death.

Older Models
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2015
My friend, Joel Belmont, issued a challenge about using models who don’t fit the current standard pretty 20-something mold. Here’s what he said: “I’m going to put a challenge out there – myself included. It seems like when we look for models, we look for someone mid-20’s, classic proportions… full figure, ample breasts, curvy hips, […]

I’m sorry for the lack of posts recently. I’m still recovering from my recent illness and am very far behind in many things including posting on this blog. I’m doing much better, though my recovery is not yet complete and I’m still moving a bit slow. But I’m getting back into it and will try […]
Man plans; God laughs
Tuesday, January 13th, 2015
I’ve been gone from the internet for a week. That was not my plan. I had planned to be very busy and therefore to have a limited presence here for a while, but that’s not what happened. Here’s the Cliff Notes version of the past week: On Wednesday I got sick. Thursday I got sicker […]
Instant Reveille
Thursday, December 18th, 2014
In my continuing work with Fuji’s now discontinued instant 3000 speed film, I did a shoot with a wonderful, beautiful model, Reveille at her Dayton home. I was trying to use one of the cheap Polaroid cameras I had bought on ebay. Since then I’ve given up on those crappy cameras and gone back to […]

Lindsay Hooping It Up
Thursday, October 23rd, 2014
I suspect you are all quite tired of looking at photos of that old house…even with the lovely Ayn decorating them. So, on to something completely different. These are some photos of my friend and multi-talented performer, Lindsay Nova. I met her a few years ago when she was studying dance at my alma mater, […]
