It’s been quite some time since my last photo post. I keep coming up with ideas for new projects, and keep running out of time to work on them. Someday I will get a chance to print. The gallery is now up and running too so that will keep me extra busy. I just returned...

Coming Soon
It’s been quite some time since my last post, but for good reason. As I was coming off the winter blahs and debating what the “next step” would be it practically fell into my lap. I was sitting in the Flying Disc in early May…enjoying coffee, talk, and atmosphere…I learned (sadly) that the shop had...

I’ve always been fascinated by people’s homes at night. When you start to think about consumption, it’s even more interesting. So many lights that a long exposure begins to look...
My morning cup
Charles Osgood’s voice is as warm and soothing as my cup of coffee on a Sunday morning. I look forward to CBS Sunday Morning every weekend for a little culture. This weekend’s art piece was about pop photog David LaChapelle. I’ve poured through the opened copies of his books at Barnes and Noble digesting all...

This is the time of year when we all get really sick of snow. I could really use a beach somewhere. But, when the temps warm up just...
Clean air
The Danish Island Samsø provides a model for all of us. Couldn’t every town do this? Read the article from Outside Magazine.
Arno
I want to start pointing out some of my favorite photographers. Check out Arno Minkkinen’s website. I was introduced to Minkkinen’s work while working at the Maine Photographic Workshops in Rockport Maine during the summer of 2000. They paid me in food, but the place was crawling with artists from all over the place who...
I lied…
In my first blog, I said I have no social agenda. That’s not entirely true. A while ago I started work on a series of photos of power lines. In my work at the newspaper, I shoot a lot of cliche landscapy type stuff and power lines are always getting in the way. Partly because...
Jeff Wall
I read and enjoyed the article in the recent NY Times Sunday Magazine about Jeff Wall today. My education in contemporary photography is ongoing – art school unfortunately focused mostly on the distant past – so I always enjoy catching up. His work is interesting but I mostly appreciated the discussion about...

Growing up close to farm country doesn’t mean I fully “get it”. A neighbor recently plowed through 3+ feet of snow to move some hay bales… at...
