Happy Halloween
Friday, October 28th, 2016
I seem to do a lot of Halloween-themed photos, so I thought I’d share a collection of them to mark the spooky holiday this year. Theda is one of my favorite subject for these. There’s just something about her that lends itself to darker photos. Above she is being “Gothic Eve” for my Eve […]
Getting Old
Tuesday, October 25th, 2016
I’m marking my 65th birthday today, so I thought I’d share a couple photos of an old friend. We did these a couple years ago to mark her 50th birthday. Age is just a number, but the higher the number the bigger the challenge to keep pushing on. But I think I’ll manage to keep […]
Theda Tribute
Saturday, October 22nd, 2016
First, another shot of Theda showing off her then new tattoo. We did this shoot right around the time of Lucien Clergue’s death. He was on both of our minds. So we did a few photos in memory of him and his wonderful use of ‘striped light.’
A Visit To Theda
Tuesday, October 18th, 2016
In April 2015 I was starting to feel better, though I was still far from recovered from my health crisis. But I felt well enough to make a trip to New York City. I didn’t feel like doing any major shoots outdoors that would have required a lot of physical activity, but I did manage […]
Green
Saturday, October 15th, 2016
The photo above has been selected for the upcoming show, “Green,” at The Darkroom Gallery in Essex Junction, Vermont. The model is the ever beautiful Peyton Fontaine. I took the photo some years ago at Wekiwa Springs near Orlando, Florida. It’s my favorite place to go when I’m in the Orlando area. Forget the theme […]
Angie at Some Waterfalls
Tuesday, October 11th, 2016
In April 2015 was feeling a little better, but still far from back to where I’d been before my little health crisis. A warm day came along and I took Angie out to a couple of our favorite waterfalls where we had shot many times before. I was slowly getting back into action with photography. […]
Ten Years
Saturday, October 8th, 2016
Today is the tenth anniversary of this blog. When I started it I was a few weeks away from retirement from my day job. Soon after I retired I took off in my pickup for a drive around the country taking photos. I called it my freedom ride. I planned for the blog to be […]
Panasonic GX8
Thursday, October 6th, 2016
I have a new camera. A Panasonic GX8. I’d had my eye on this camera for a while, but hadn’t made up my mind. Then there was a sale going on that was just too good to pass up. I got it from Adorama with a “free” 12-60mm lens that seems just perfect and a […]
Kelsey in the Cold March Woods
Wednesday, October 5th, 2016
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you know that in January 2015 I had a pretty serious medical episode that put me in the hospital for a while. I blogged about it here and here if you care to read about what happened. That’s when I started to get so far behind […]
Crappy Instant Pictures
Sunday, October 2nd, 2016
A while back I was suckered into participating in an on-line funding thing for a new Lomo instant camera. When I got it I found it was, as I have come to expect with Lomo products, a piece of junk. But it does take instant photos using Fuji’s small instant film, producing prints that are […]
