An Ending
2017-11-11 07:04:31 UTC
“An End” The image says a lot but not the whole story. Since the early days of scientific exploration, coinciding with European imperialism, we white people have done whatever we deemed nessecary at the time to further our empires and our fortunes. We have always perpetrated these crimes of progress…

Half and half
2017-11-06 02:18:14 UTC
“Half and half” On the same day as I made the portrait of Magnolia, the kids and I stopped at the Hammer for a little Saturday culture. I wanted to see the Radical Women exhibit and I think the kids wanted to go to the book store and then maybe…

(This is) Magnolia and her jacket
2017-11-05 04:46:48 UTC
“(This is) Magnolia and her jacket” The kids and I were walking back from the Hammer when I saw this lovely young lady sitting on a stoop waiting for a Taxi. She was looking at something on her phone and smiling with this big beautiful smile. Then I noticed her…

At the end of the day

“Trifecta” “Smoke shop” “Ladder” “Curious boys” “Bike your walk” I love the sunsets here in Santa Monica and I don’t get out as often as I wish to shoot in that glorious light. During the summer it’s a bit easier since sunset comes just late enough that I can make…

Twinning
2017-10-31 04:54:52 UTC
“Twinning” Here’s another attempt at seeing what’s happening around me instead of looking for the image I’m expecting to make. I walked into the LACMA book store right after the guy in the picture. Anna Maria and the kids were already wondering around inside looking at books and posters and…

“Greyspace at Crater Lake 1” “Greyspace at Crater Lake 2” “The Road” “Wear you glasses” “Barber shop on Main” “Sunset over Medford” For the eclipse my father rented a cabin in a little town called Medford. Medford’s a couple hours from Crater Lake and a couple more to Albany where…

Current Mood 171025
2017-10-26 04:25:37 UTC
“Current mood 171025” I appreciate that it takes time to get film processed. I need that time, I’ve realized. In fact I think I actually need more time than just a week or two to feel comfortable. Don’t get me wrong, it would be nice to be able to see…

Head shrinking
2017-10-24 01:34:32 UTC
“Head shrinking” I’ve been trying to see things differently. I’m trying to really look at what’s happening around me and to not see what I’m expecting to see. I feel like I’m missing things, important things that are worthy of finding and exploring are happening and it’s not for want…

Grumpy old men
2017-10-23 04:13:56 UTC
“Grumpy old men” I followed the gentleman in the photograph for a while. I liked his suit and bald head and didn’t quite understand the bag, but then again I didn’t really need to. I found him interesting and I thought he will make an interesting subject in what I…

What it’s all about
2017-10-22 06:02:30 UTC
“What it’s all about” You put your left foot inYou take your left foot outYou put your left foot inAnd you shake it all aboutYou do the hokey pokeyAnd you turn yourself aroundThat’s what it’s all about I really have no idea what this guy was doing. I’m guessing he…

This is my girl
2017-10-21 06:25:46 UTC
“This is my girl” No need for a long diatribe tonight. This is my girl, Anna Maria. I made this picture a couple weeks ago when we went to the beach right around sunset. She was running around like she’s want to do, taking pictures of all things beach. For…

One by one
2017-10-20 05:01:48 UTC
“One by one” The story behind this image is more anecdotal than anything but at the same time a testament to how sheep-like we humans can be at times–or at least how sheep like I can be at times. I had just walked out of the LA/LA exhibit at LACMA…

At the end of the day
2017-10-17 07:34:24 UTC
“At the end of the day” I had a brief exchange with someone today about writing and photography. Alex is not only a talented film photographer, but an equally talented writer. His point: the stories behind the images we make give the pictures far greater weight than any story that…

What the fuck?!?
2017-10-16 05:57:12 UTC
“What the fuck?!?” I was walking the Huntington Beach Pier with AM and the kids when I made this image. The surfer in the picture was doing a run when all of a sudden it was almost like he was yanked back by some invisible force. He started screaming at…

The boy in the bubble and other nearest misses
2017-10-15 05:42:00 UTC
“The boy in the bubble” “Man behind the camera” “Rockabillies and Cokes” “Focus” “End of the rail” “From above” After yesterdays seriousness, I wanted to go the opposite way today. When I first started shooting those first 10,000 pictures that were supposed to be my worst and which preceded the…

Estranged
2017-10-14 04:59:12 UTC
“Estranged” I don’t know how long they had been drifting apart. It could have started last week or last year or last time they really talked. But it had happened at some point and all that really matters is that it would have happened no matter what they did. I…

Hairway to Steven
2017-10-13 03:16:13 UTC
“Hairway to Steven” I made a couple of these images while we were in San Fransisco at SFMOMA. The staircase itself, with the light beam that cuts through the staircase is divine. For the others I camped out and waited for the right person to walk down or up and…

White House
2017-10-12 05:00:59 UTC
“White House” Museums must be my favorite hunting grounds for photography. The stark white walls contrasted against beautiful fine art while patrons wander around, experiencing that art in their own headspace. They bend their heads, twist their bodies, gesture with their arms, soaking it all up. Sometimes I get caught…

Sleepers | Powernap

While we were in Vegas in July for a short two-day vacation, we stayed at the Bellagio. I booked everything through Am-Ex travel so the I could get the standard set of upgrades through my particular card. We drove there from LA with the puppies who we were boarding near…
