“The art of simplicity is a puzzle of complexity.” — Douglas Horton It is still amazing (at least to me) how a simple object, removed from it’s normal surroundings, can have so much impact. This is just a pair of shiny chromed nails twisted and intertwined on a bright white background. Not very complicated. But it…… Continue reading A Puzzle of Twisted Nails

Delicate Pink Feather
“Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all.” — Emily Dickinson For the shot of the day, here is a delicate pink feather on a bright colorful background. It is cold, grey, and snowy outside and I feel like I’ve…… Continue reading Delicate Pink Feather
Three Succulent Plants
These three tiny succulent (and plastic, I might add) potted plants sit in one of the two small windows that flank our fireplace in our apartment. I love the way the sunlight streams through the glass in the late afternoon. But try as I might, I have never been able to get a satisfactory…… Continue reading Three Succulent Plants
Path from Point A to Point B
“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

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

Day 123 – Binary
“There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don’t.” — Unknown I think the message says it all! 😉 Day 123 of 365.
Color and Smoke III – Dance
“I’d rather learn from one bird how to sing than to teach ten thousand stars how not to dance” — e.e. cummings The third in a series, this is two different photographs combined into one image. I love how the two seem to be embracing, as if dancing. As before, the smoke was shot…… Continue reading Color and Smoke III – Dance
Color and Smoke II – RGB Triptych
“There may be a great fire in our soul, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.” -Vincent van Gogh As promised, here is more smoke! The three images were shot and processed individually and then combined into the triptych here. I’ve combined them…… Continue reading Color and Smoke II – RGB Triptych
Hands Drawing Hands
Today, while staring at a blank sheet of paper on my desk, trying to write out a to-do list and thoughts about future photo shoots, I had the idea of trying to create something reminiscent of M.C. Escher’s work, “Drawing Hands”. So much for the lists! It was a very simple setup. Actually, it wasn’t…… Continue reading Hands Drawing Hands
