Kent, Connecticut. I did some photo work for the artist Joy Brown who’s a good friend of mine. I’ve been doing this kind of work for her for many years and it’s wonderful to have such a great working relationship as well as a close friendship. Many times one of these will get in the [...]

For the past year I’ve been using this Rubbermaid Handi-box Snap Case to pack my Canon 5D, Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens, Canon 100mm f/2.8 L macro lens or a Canon 135mm f/2 lens (either/or), a pouch with extra batteries and CF cards, a blower, and a strap. The only part of the kit that [...]

This image is part of a series taken on visits to the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California over an eight year period. I’ve done all of my images in this series with a Canon 5D and a Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens and I rented a Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L lens to see how [...]

These images are part of a series taken on visits to the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California over an eight year period. When I fly to Los Angeles to visit my now 96 year old mother, we enjoy visiting the Getty Center which is relatively close to her house and accessible to her in [...]

“Myself, Trav and Melissa pictured with the sign at Wonder Lake, the starting point of our climb up Denali. We took the Muldrow Glacier route, so the first week of the 30 day climb was spent ferrying gear, food and fuel across the tundra which my dad was kind enough to help with. From there [...]

My long time flickr contact and even longer time friend Scott James has a nice set on hummingbirds. I particularly like the one I posted above, the hummingbird through the feeder is great.

Mt. Everett, Massachusetts. I took my wife Anne on a walk around Guilder Pond on the shoulder of Mt. Everett before the mountain laurel went by. I took my Canon 5D and a few lenses because the walk was short. Glad I did, the flowers were in perfect bloom and the light was great. The [...]

Los Angeles, California. I had my now 96 year old mother sit down for yet another one of our portrait sessions. This time I had her face the window and I think she felt more comfortable not staring into the camera. We had a nice visit and we’ll both be a bit sad when I [...]

Huntington Gardens, Pasadena, California. The first flower shot I’ve done in a long time. I love flowers and this one had a marker but stupid me, I forgot to shoot it for reference. So, it’s a milk splash flower until I hear otherwise (because it looks like spilled milk frozen in a photograph to me).

My friend the artist Joy Brown is raffling this “dancing lady” wood-fired ceramic sculpture the proceeds of which are going to tsunami relief in Japan where she grew up. Tickets are $20 and you can send checks to her or, if you’re overseas use paypal to send money. I’m late in posting this notice and [...]

Phuket Breathing // Thailand from artisland on Vimeo. Zoom it out, turn it up… My only criticism / feedback on this is that the images were cut a bit too fast for my brain, I needed a bit longer to saturate my brain with each one. Other than that, wonderful work. Note the camera and [...]

Warren, Connecticut. The snow is almost over but the wind continues to howl outside. These days people make a huge deal out of storms like the one that just hit the East Coast (the Weather Channel effect) but in fact, this storm has lived up to the hype: we have about 20″ of snow on [...]

Warren, Connecticut. I’ve been collecting these Tibetan prayer flags for many years now and our backyard is starting to look a bit like Everest base camp. Our cat, who died a year ago is buried right under them and hopefully the flags and her spirit will keep the rodent population down in the backyard while [...]

Los Angeles, California. I took too long to set up my "traditional" portrait of my 95 and a half year old mother and she got impatient and rather frisky. This is what I get for taking too long.

Los Angeles, California. The Getty Museum Central Garden has some nice flowers in bloom now. My mother can’t see much anymore but I almost always take her through the labyrinth. I think she can still see it in her mind’s eye and that’s enough.

Huntington Gardens, Pasadena, California. Not much in bloom except roses during this visit to the gardens. I’ve never been crazy about rose flowers as photographic subjects but their buds are nice and of course, varicolored rose bokeh works.
