This September Ann Wilson invited me to take part in a sort of garage band bash for a few days to see what happens, she was coming to town, had some pieces she wanted to try, and a few commitments to meet. I recommended Uberbeatz from previous experience and they went ahead and booked it, […]

I was pleasantly surprised when Koplin Del Rio Gallery contacted me earlier this year about inclusion in an upcoming exhibition- Photographs 2020, their first photography exhibition. The possibility of hanging with other Washington photographers  I respect was great. Certainly Marsha Burns has been a friend and mentor for years, even becoming a client I’d print […]

The prints are custom piezography ink blends on fine art cotton paper, all 32” x ~ 40” framed. The opening is this Friday 1/3 from 6-8pm. I’d love to see some friends old or new. Bainbridge Arts […]

  Two new additions to the uneditioned print offerings, all of which are on sale through the holidays. The top image was made in 2014 on a trip in eastern WA with Jeff Corwin, along one of those tiny roads that yields rewards unforeseen. This is one of 3 or 4 5×7 large format exposures […]

  After an extended break, this is the first offering in several months. It won the facebook poll as favorite of three. I have been photographing various Begonias around our front door for years, from cell phone snaps, film, and to this approach. This is a digital capture, made with an older Zeiss/Contax lens, very […]

I’ve let this lag this year due to other priorities, and reconsideration of it’s continuation. For now, I’ve extended the discounted prices began last holiday season through August. There has been interest and sales, and I still like the idea of it. However maintaining it and updating it monthly has not been warranted, I’m thinking […]

  I’ve been scanning years of negs for the site, the first updates are more PNW landscapes over the years, as well as quite recent. Gallery six has been filled out and gallery seven put up. Additional galleries of other work will be added in the coming days. It’s a lotta darn images!  

I’m hoping to use this uneditioned section as a way to show and provide a variety of work, some of which came about unexpectedly. In some ways the 90’s were the most creative period in commercial photography, the economy was good, the clientele often younger and edgier. We saw a lot fads like cross processing, […]
