Brief and introductory talk and Q&A at Google, Kirkland WA, accompanying a guest exhibit at Google Kirkland, WA, in April and May of 2016.  The video is simply the eleven images in the order shown, then an attempt to bring various images up that may relate to the topics as they come up. The talk […]

Spoiler alert- brevity seems beyond me. I’ve been thinking of a write-up like this for some time. Coincidentally without intent there seems to be quit a bit of support material surrounding this one image, so this is an indulgence about one piece of work, from place to print. It’s specific and reflective only of me, […]

I post a lot of snapshots to Facebook, simple pictures of noticed moments. When many of us were very young and had some little plastic camera we’d innocently photograph anything, a sunset, a friend making a goofy face, a flower, mountain… no thought to whether it amounts to anything, just found moments remarkable enough to […]

the short story- another casual video/music excerize that got out of hand, not unlike July Rain. Like it, I did not preconcieve it nor can catagorize the result. I enjoyed making it.   No video, but highest quality audio: Soundcloud- Memory Wind The same Youtube video above, hosted at Fandalism: Fandalism- Memory Wind   The long story- […]

  The short version- Several minutes of guitar noodling over a simple drum beat, testing a recording plugin. Some slight editing, completed a composition of sorts, finessed drums, added bass and keyboards, and effects. No video, but highest quality audio: Soundcloud- February Afternoon Still Image, adequate audio: Youtube- February Afternoon The same Youtube video, hosted […]

To my local friends, a little community involvement in something essentially down the street- My accountants and friends of decades take part and support the local community by hosing artists each month to take part. After years of not quite getting it together, I’ll have a dozen or so pieces at their business for the […]

The short version- A piece intended as background, relaxation, or environment that evolved over a three year period, all based on rain. If the sound of rain depresses you please take a pass! Nothing about the music, or the imagery, is every dramatic or demanding of attention. This is not what I would present as […]

Two of the more unusual kinds of inkjet related prints we will show at the workshop, amongst countless others, including more straightforward examples. The Fine Photographic Print: Possibilities and Intention at Newspace Center for Photography September 27, 2015 With the workshop date approaching, I’d like to touch on some of the things participants will get […]

Last November I contributed guitar to a live performance by ambient music artists Marc Barreca and K. Leimer. In addition I prepared videos to accompany the music, that were projected above the stage, utilizing many of my landscape images. They later used this live performance material mixed with newly created music to release “Field Characteristics” […]

I posted a piece called Gumby Bass that was the start of what became this.. called Lemurs. While finalizing the mix I sent it to a friend for input, his immediate reply was “good god man, are you being medicated?!?!???!?!!?!?!?!!?!?!?!??!?!??!?”. I know it’s lunacy, if you think there is something wrong with my brain, that’s […]
