I’m in Ann Arbor, MI (a little dazed and confused) for a few days before heading for Chicago for the Gold Coast show. Despite the slowing economy, my shows continue going strong and I’m eternally grateful!
In the Twin Cities this weekend, I went out shooting two nights in St. Paul, and I’m thrilled with the shots. I […]

Driving back to the Bay Area from Seattle today brought back memories of an amazing hitchhiking trip that I took down the coast, from Seattle to San Diego, many years ago with my friend Gerry. Two guys hitchhiking is a recipe for not getting a lift, so we had to devise ways around this. One […]

I got back home this morning… drove all day and night from Denver, with Pam sharing the driving… Now I have today and part of tomorrow to do everything I can’t do on the road.
I fly to Des Moines tomorrow at midnight (with an armful of artwork) to get my van and drive to Chicago for the […]

A severe storm alert has been announced by the Des Moines Police. Headed our way, in 30 minutes, is a 70 miles/hr hail storm. A large mass of scary looking black clouds are in the horizon, slowly marching toward us.  All the artists have closed down, and tied down as much as possible. I too have done […]

Onward and onward… I’m sitting at the airport in Des Moines with 30 minutes to spare, waiting for my plane to take me back to California. After the show in Milwaukee I went out shooting with a young, local photographer, Mark Adgate. I’m thrilled about the one shot we did! It will be on-line in a few […]

I got some excellent leads for places to shoot tonight in Milwaukee. I didn’t find anyone to shoot with so I’ll go out alone. I have to be twice as careful, at least in theory, when I shoot alone at night. If I find a neighborhood with a lot of potential, I’ll park the van […]

It’s nice to do a show close to home, like I am this week with the Union Street Art Festival. I’d better enjoy it while it lasts though, because starting next weekend, I have a show every week until September or October somewhere far, far from home. Last year I enjoyed a similarly insane schedule, […]

This is one of the two shots from my adrenalin-fueled shoot in a Compton alley two months ago. The other shot will be ready someday before the end of time. (Hopefully sooner, because its also a good shot)
This was the second of the two that night and was done with the help of Jorge, a […]

Its Monday morning, and its been a full weekend with no time to post. Friday night I hung out with one of my best friends, Steve Wagschal, in Bloomington, near Indianapolis. We grew up together and I see him and his family whenever I’m in Indy. Saturday night I went shooting alleys with Dave Evans, […]

I have many, many alley images sitting patiently for their turn. I came across this Seattle, WA picture (below) on my laptop yesterday. Most of the images are not even scanned yet (from the original negatives) - I have a backlog of maybe 25-30 shots.
I did this shot in July of last year in Seattle […]
