This image I’ll be featuring at the 200 Yards third show opening at Free Gold Watch this Saturday. The opening will be from 6-10 pm, March 12. The story of this fun street portrait I told in my March monthly newsletter. If you haven’t subscribed yet, please do!

This is the second image that I’ll be featuring at the 200 Yards show opening tonight at Heart (24th and Valencia). The other I posted a few weeks back. If you are in San Francisco please stop by tonight and say hi, or stop by Heart anytime before September 20th and check out the show.

I want to apologize for my absence from the blog, I’ve been busy and have let my posts go to the wayside. While that is a lame excuse, it’s the best that I’ve got.

However, I’m excited to let you all know that the above image as well as another will be featured in the 200 Yards show that opens on August 18th. All the featured images have been taken within 200 yards of the host location (Heart near 24th and Valencia). This project was a challenge for me. The first challenge was the fact that 200 yards is not a large area (about one city block in either direction). The second was a creative process hurdle. While I have shot images on a theme previously, I’ve never been totally happy with the outcome. I’m still trying to figure out the creative process that works for me with themed shoots. Luckily this time around, there were lots of little details, some of my favorite subjects.

Both the images that I’ll be featuring are textural black and whites, because of that I chose a method of printing I’ve been wanting to use for a while, aluminum. I had them printed at Bay Photo, they arrived yesterday and I’m pleased with how they turned out. I’d love it if you would drop by the show and let me know what you think.

Fine Art Photoblog Guest Contributor

Guess what! I’m today’s guest contributor over at Fine Art Photoblog. Today they are featuring one of my favorite images, A Study of Rhythm and Feet No. 6. Head over and check out my photograph and all of the other photographs on their site.

New Website, New Direction

Welcome to the new website! Over the past month or so, I have been slaving hard to create a new look for the website. I hope that you enjoy it.

With the new site design, I’m also going to take a slightly different direction on the blog (or journal as I’m now calling it).  In my journal, I’ll share with you new images, artists that inspire me, and shots taken with my iPhone. I’m also hoping to share legal information that I learn during my studies that may be helpful to fellow artists.

To make sure that my journal didn’t start out blank, I’ve pulled twenty-four images from my old blog, the “Best Of” so to speak.

Please let me know what you think of the new site and I look forward to the new direction that this site will be taking!
