I went shooting last night in San Diego. I found a couple of old abandoned industrial buildings intersecting in a dusty alley. A delightfully haunting scene. The light was only a little interesting, so I had to light most of the scene myself. All went without incident, which was good because I was shooting alone.
In October, I […]

This is a very beautiful city… almost too much so. I went looking for a little urban decay today but couldn’t find much. I did find an area that I’ll be exploring further tomorrow night. A detective with the San Diego Police Dept, who I met last year and is a fan of my work, had […]

Wow, what a fantastic show in Portland… Art in the Pearl! Its a great city with great people…
And wow… I didn’t get a single alley shot. Saturday night I was fired up - ready to dive into Portland’s darker, grittier corners looking for diamonds in the rough. I drove and walked around with Pam for 4 […]

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 […]

Its 2:30am in Minneapolis. I’m in my van parked on a residential street, lying on the comfy bed I’ve made for myself in the back, and borrowing internet access from a neighbor. A short while ago I finished shooting in downtown St Paul, the older of the twin cities. I met several great guys at the show today - Jeb, Donald […]

I got a chance to do a little daytime exploring of the twin cities yesterday (I’ve never seen so many lakes). I was here last year on a cross country road trip with my friend Alan from Toronto, and I got a shot in a downtown alley at night. It was a Friday night and […]

Raoul bailed on me at the last minute last night. It happens occasionally – not often. There’s one city where the stats are reversed: Los Angeles. Four out of five times in L.A., after confirming they will go shooting with me, in the end the person will not show up. This was jarring when I […]

I’m going shooting tonight… I met a guy, Raoul, who’ll be watching my back. A friend of his, a graff artist, may come too. Seattle has many great locations to shoot. I was here last year and stumbled upon a vast old industrial area that ran for miles. I shot this at the time:
Alleys & Fire […]

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 […]

What a fantastic show Cherry Creek is… my best show ever.
I went shooting last night in Denver. I had planned to go Friday and Saturday but I was too wiped out, so Sunday night I dragged my sorry ass into the night air, determined to find something. A double espresso brought me back to life.
I […]
