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.

TIME WARPS

A Link to the Past

This old hunk of odd-ball railroad equipment provides a link to the past. I do not think that I live in the past, but I do respect and honor all the places that I have been and most of my past. The locomotives that were brand new when I came into this world are mostly gone. A few are still used on short branch lines, and a few more are in museums.

This item is some sort of maintenance of way equipment. It looks like it was home-made.

SUNSET AT RIO VISTA

Limited Sunset, 1995

Here is another idea of where my style was about twenty years ago. It has developed, but some of the essence has been there a long while. I showed a black and white version of this where the RR crossing sign was cut partially off. I think I liked it that way.
