Even though I’ve traveled to nearly every part of Oregon over the years, I’d never ventured into the south-east corner of the state. A little research yielded scant information about the area, but two things did spark my interest: a dry lakebed and wild horses. In mid-October 2018 I chose to spend several nights at […]

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 […]

In a recent blog John Wilson waxed lyrical about the gems in his backyard and posed the question about what goes on in your backyard.

My recent trip to the UK didn’t go quite as planned 😉 Weather was in total contrast to previous (and following) weeks: wet wet wet. And the UK government proved as reliable as our own by announcing an end to self-quarantine for French visitors on the 4th, no wait, the 6th, no wait, the 10th […]

“Enigma – A person or thing that is mysterious or difficult to understand.” (Oxford) A few years ago I got introduced to the work of Abelardo Morell, a Cuban American photographer and Professor Emeritus of Photography at the Massachusetts College of Art.

I thought I would share some photos taken at the end of May one evening when the sun decided to break out after a stretch of grey skies. Rather than do my usual walk in my neighborhood I decided to go the near by town of Poulsbo, WA, which has a nice water front park […]
