“Adversity is the first path to truth.” — Lord Byron The easiest way to get from here to there is a straight line. That is easier said than done. In reality, the path from Point A to Point B is very rarely straight. It is full of twists, turns, switchbacks and dead ends. We must…… Continue reading Path from Point A to Point B

Broken Bulb
“I am on until I am dead, like a light bulb.” –Henry Rollins A single broken and burned out light bulb on a bright white background. Day 135 of 365
The Eye in the Sky
“I am the eye in the sky Looking at you I can read your mind I am the maker of rules Dealing with fools I can cheat you blind And I don’t need to see anymore To know that I can read your mind” –from the song Eye in the Sky by The Alan Parsons…… Continue reading The Eye in the Sky
Two Wild and Crazy Guys
This is what a tired son with a cold and a tired Dad (both with very little sleep) do when left to their own devices. Two wild and crazy guys – with apologies to Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd. Shot with my Droid cell phone. Day 133 of my 365 photo a day project. If…… Continue reading Two Wild and Crazy Guys
Texas Highway
This photo was taken through the windshield of my Dodge, on an isolated Texas highway, somewhere in Big Bend National Park in Texas while driving at about 85 mph. It was in late September of 1997 or 1998 and I propped my Nikon FM2 up on the dash, centered the car on the yellow line…… Continue reading Texas Highway
Voyeur – A Self-Portrait
“You’re either going to walk through life and experience it fully or you’re going to be a voyeur.” -Nicole Kidman Self-portrait shot through the frosted glass of our back door. This turned out to be a lot more creepy than I intended. But I’m happy with that. 😉 Day 131 of my 365 photo a…… Continue reading Voyeur – A Self-Portrait
Electric Guitar
A close up of my 1985 Ibanez Roadstar II electric guitar. An instrument, I hate to say, not played much since the late 80s. I had all of the dreams a normal teenager has about joining a band, playing to packed houses, traveling the world, attending all of the best parties, getting all the chicks,…… Continue reading Electric Guitar
Building Blocks
“I think LEGOs are one of the best toys ever developed.” –Adam Savage Three white plastic toy building blocks on a white background. Day 129 of 365
Minimalist Kick: Cyanotype on White
I’ve been on a real minimalist kick in my art as of late. You can certainly see that in my recent photographs in the 365 Project. And lately, I’m actually finding it quite difficult to find and shoot compelling images of landscapes or cityscapes/architecture. So what is up? I’ve never considered myself to be a…… Continue reading Minimalist Kick: Cyanotype on White
Smoking Gun
“Ideas pull the trigger, but instinct loads the gun” –Don Marquis My take on the smoking gun. This is a composite of two shots – the Browning 9mm pistol and the smoke. Day 126 of my 365 photo a day project. If you are looking for art for your home or office or something to…… Continue reading Smoking Gun
Six Strings
One of the main reasons for undertaking this 365 Project was to force myself to think outside of the box but also to create images quickly. After all, each shot, like Six Strings, would be shot, processed, and uploaded in a day. For today, I wanted a shot of my electric guitar (which is just…… Continue reading Six Strings
Give Thanks for the Light
“When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.” -Tecumseh Sunlight streams through a small dried Incrediball Hydrangea bloom set in front of…… Continue reading Give Thanks for the Light
