CARDnetics
Bryce Bell is a mechanical engineer who has made some fun “cards” that at this point, shoot pennies and tictacs. However, there’s something fascinating about the process.

New York City. A group of us had dinner in New York over the Holidays and Gary and I spent a considerable amount of time attempting to photograph this glass of water with a candle behind it. It was a lot of fun and while my wife and our other friends rolled their eyes and [...]

Warren, Connecticut. I decided to rent a Canon 1D Mark III for a week just to see what it’s like to shoot with a "serious" pro camera. I knew it was big but for crying out loud, the thing is BIG. However, in about ten minutes it feels great in one’s hands. Setting it up [...]

Warren, Connecticut. I figured I’d better do some shooting with the new camera to make sure it works within the return period. What better place to test than my "kitchen table studio" with my high priced (and moody) models.

David Stannard has just died.
David was one of my first ceramics teachers at The University of Oregon in 1972 and when I got an MFA in 1980 he was on my graduate committee.
