MORE RAILCAR INTERIORS

Glasses

 

 

I have not decided yet if I should print and mat this image. It is part of a series that I took in the kitchen of an old diner car.

BACK TO WORKING ON THE RAILROAD

The View at the Kitchen Sink in the Dining Car

Last Saturday, I conducted a workshop on diesel locomotive operation at the old Samoa Roundhouse. After the class I took some time to explore inside some wonderful "heavy weight" passenger cars. This photograph is a product of my exploration. It looks great as a print, and I wonder if it needs to be rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

UPCOMING ARCATA SHOW

Arcata Dawn Goddess, 2010

I just now reworked this image. It was rejected from the Northwest Eye a few years ago, and I sort of banished it from further interest. I am curious to hear input from others about it - please. I have the original below.

A COUPLE MORE CLOSE-UP EXAMPLES

Image with just the nose in focus. This was number one of four of the stack.

Four Images Combined for Focus

PLAYING WITH EXTENSION TUBES

By adding a 12mm extension tube to my 24-105mm zoom lens, I now have a workable macro lens. This was hand-held (albeit six other shots were blurry).

ANOTHER IMAGE FROM THE MAD RIVER HOSPITAL EXHIBIT

A Young Monk at His Quarters Doorway, Thiksey, Ladakh, 2008

This was a grab shot that I love sharing.

THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT

"If  You Go Into the Woods Tonight, You Better Not Go Alone...

Here is a fun image that I took this evening on my walk in the woods. I hope it stayed put.

MORNING SONGS IN LADAKH

Morning Songs, Thiksey, 2008

These young monks are starting their school day by singing the national anthem.

I hung a print of this image along with six others at Mad River Hospital yesterday.

MAD RIVER HOSPITAL EXHIBIT

Smiley, Thiksey Gompa, Ladakh, 2008

This monk has a great smile - how  could I not take his photograph?

ELDER MONK

Elder Monk, Thiksey Monastery, Ladakh, 2008

The photograph of this monk is the only one of the series that is not of young men. It just sort of happened that way while I was selecting the images for this exhibition.

MORE FACES OF LADAKH

Backward Glance, Thiksey, 2008

I lucked into this image. I think the young monk sneaked more than one look during the morning puja. I printed and framed this for the show at Mad River Hospital. I will hang them on Monday.

FACES OF LADAKH

Young Monk, Likir Monastery, Ladakh, 2008

I am hanging ten or eleven works at Mad River Hospital on Monday. They will exhibit alongside images from photographer Lorraine Miller-Wolf. Some of these images have never before been shown.

EARLY SPRING IN THE ALDER FOREST

A Trail Through the Alder, 2013

I have not really been photographing like I usually do. I am feeling the urge to do some new work.

MORRIS GRAVES MUSEUM OF ART

Sky Dance, 2013

A print of this image is showing at the Morris Graves in the Northwest Eye exhibit. The show is worth seeing.

BEACH GRASS ON THE LOST COAST

On the Lost Coast, May 2013

I seldom create high key imagery, but this one seemed to be made for it.

THE EAST SIDE

Mt. Tom, 2009

The east side of the Sierra.
