My photographs I suppose would fall into the broad category of nature photography, but with a twist. I call it “serendipitous rambling,” and it was particularly useful during a pandemic when I was hobbled by Achilles tendonitis, especially at the outset. Nothing systematic, nothing planned except for general locale—it’s little more than stopping to look […]

There is a story that Italian artist and Picasso contemporary Gino Severini willingly gave his broken (and therefore useless) camera to Picasso, who was curious about the odd images it produced. Picasso played with his new toy and ultimately realized that it showed him a new way to paint. Thus cubism was born. In the […]

What have you done during this interminable pandemic? Most of us had a list, or at least dreams, of accomplishing something significant with so much time on our hands.

Earlier this year, before the pandemic, I traveled to the southeastern coast of the United States, to Georgia and South Carolina, to what is commonly called the “Lowcountry.” Inspired by the work of photographers who have created remarkable images of the weathered trees and driftwood of the area, I made it a project to photograph […]

Colour beguiles you and can be a sly mistress that easily conceals or misleads. In the words of famed street photographer Daidō Moriyama, I find colour obscene. It carries such strong emotions and in most cases, does all the work for you. A black and white image, has to stand on its own merits and […]
