New front doors changed more than the front of our house. Who knew frosted glass could give off just the right amount of light to do some natural light shooting. I've always struggled with finding my groove with still shots, they seem off somehow. But

Every January I think of a word I want to take with me throughout the year. I don't make new year's resolutions, no need to give myself another excuse to worry about failure--as an artist, I am a master at that worry. Instead, I think

There weren't many reasons to come back, but I did. All I had now was the dirt on my boots, my car and the dice you gave me before telling me to go

As you can tell, I've neglected this blog for awhile. I keep telling myself its because I don't have the time but here I am, on a summer morning, packing up one house, renovating another with only 10 days left until moving day. This is

One of the things I love best about living in the desert is the lack of snow. No shoveling, no scraping the ice off the windshield every morning, no layering of clothes and then unlayering when you have to go to the bathroom…these where the

I It's all about perspective…the graphics on the stair risers caught me attention first. It made me wish I had stairs in my own home so I could do something funky like this. The sign at the top of the stairs was a happy coincidence.

I stumbled across this building in Santa Fe. This whole structure, inside and out is used as a canvas. It's a youth art venue called Warehouse 21. They are doing some great work for the youth and the community as a whole. I spent a

I am still surprised at some pictures. They seem almost ordinary when I take them but something made me stop and take notice. Later, I can see why I shot the image. This was one of those shots. I could see what made me take

One of the great things about hanging out in alleyways is seeing some of the great street art that isn't visible from the streets. I've seen some great stuff lately. Layered, textured art that is started by one artist and added onto by another. The

I never know what I'll find when I stumble around the streets of the downtown core. This was a great find in a looked up warehouse lot. It seemed like a geriatric ward for signs. There was so much life left in them but there

Diptych: a work made up of two matching parts. I'll admit it, I didn't really know what this was until a few months ago. I noticed that many of the photo blogs I've frequented had been showing these amazing pieces of art. It hit me

I've noticed a trend. For some reason I seem drawn to photo's with bikes in them. Not a bunch of bikes, the lone bike in the middle of a busy place. There is a peacefulness to the scene but also a sadness. Just a bit

Yesterday I took a field trip. I don't often take the time to study other photographers but when I do, I take something away with me, something to use in my own art. I had the chance to pour over some Richard Avedon photos, many
