Icicle Lights and Holiday Nights
Icicle lights are part of my yearly holiday ritual, a tradition built on fresh strands of warm incandescent bulbs and the joy they bring. This monochrome close-up captures a small piece of that magic along with the soft glow that marks the start of the holiday season.
Light and Structure: A Tale of Two Frames
A study of light and form in Philadelphia. This image, captured with a Canon Powershot G9, explores how color and black-and-white versions reveal different truths, one rooted in place and time, the other in geometry, rhythm, and tone.
Artifacts and Hangovers
A hangover, a hot studio, and a table of ancient pottery. Sometimes creation doesn’t wait for comfort. In the summer of 1991, I found myself photographing Anasazi ceramics in Cortez, Colorado, learning that even through haze and heat, the art of the create endures.
Sam: Best Life Ever
Sam was Mr. Majestic, a talker, a high flyer, and a lap cat who loved the sunroom and the alley windows. This portrait remembers his quiet confidence, his love for Sally, and a life well and fully lived.
Nearscape Photography: Beneath the Street
A quiet street. A hidden stairwell. Beneath the streetlights of downtown Westminster, a forgotten space waits in shadow, where silence lingers and curiosity meets caution. Fitting for the season of shadows.
Muddy Fields, Honest Faces
A wet and misty September afternoon. Mud on the field. Faces bright with victory and rain. These candid portraits capture the raw energy of youth sports and the realness found in moments that linger after the game.
