approach

December 13, 2008

I find solace in reviewing the thousands of photographs I’ve taken over the year and finding jewels in the rough. Photographs that I may not have noticed earlier, spark interest now. The image above is Approach, [...]

the 1218

August 3, 2008

We drove to Roanoke, Virginia last weekend for my sister-in-law’s birthday and a weekend with the family. While there, we got to visit the Museum of O. Winston Link.

July 22, 2008

waiting: new work from the departure series. I was going to work on my website–freshen it up a bit and replace some images, update exhibitions, yada yada yada… but I think I’ll make more images with my 10,000+ photos in Lightroom and my new big big big 24″ monitor. It’s 10pm, but I’m off from [...]

self portrait

July 15, 2008

I’ve been away from blogging for a couple of months now. There have been some changes in my life– nothing bad, just different… I’ll be posting again soon. In the photo is evidence of my modus operandi. I can’t read in the car; it makes me sick. So I take my camera and shoot while [...]

heaven

April 11, 2008

Yesterday I took a little bit of a long lunch from the day job and went to the arboretum. It was a lovely day–about 80° and breezy, the sky blue with fluffy clouds…. I suppose noon isn’t the best time for photography– the light and shadows are a bit harsh… but it was really more [...]

April 6, 2008

Kiva (www.kiva.org) is a non-profit that allows you to lend as little as $25 to a specific low-income entrepreneur in the developing world. I just loaned a small amount of money to baker in Lebanon to update his oven. (I was born in Beirut; my dad worked for Tapline and Aramco.) I think this is [...]
