My Dog – Maggie

Pets Are Our Best Models

Meet Maggie.  She’s one badass dog and my best friend.  I have a few cats, too, that vie for that same position.  Maggie is smart; she just gets things.  She just wants to be like us.  She loves car rides.  She likes sitting on the couch and watching TV.  She loves her cat friends, and they all have it figured out.  Maggie doesn’t stink.  She has that kind of fur that doesn’t have the wet dog smell.

We adopted Maggie from Debra’s dad after he passed from COVID>. She quickly integrated herself into our household.  We had to work on a few things in the beginning, but she quickly earned our trust, and she is truly part of the family.  She likes to sleep late, and she loves good hugs and cuddles.  She is the ideal dog.  This portrait of her says it all.

Take a photo of your pet.  They are the best.

Being Square – Seeing Double – Silo City


This image was one of my favorites from one of my many Silo City shoots.  I try to make some normal places look different, and one way to do that is to use double exposures.  I created a film and lens combo on my iPhone in the Hipstamatic app to do just that.  Here’s the result.  This makes a beautiful print and I have sold a number of these.  Hope you like it.

Fall Colors

Wow, it’s been a while since I last put a post up on this site. My apologies.  Life seems to have gotten the better of me.  We needed to move our studio, which we did, and to a new space in the same building.  We have changed the direction of the business to more of teaching than gallery sales.  In short, we are adapting to the new times we seem to be in and continue to evolve with the changing and somewhat challenging times.

You can view our new studio and the direction we are heading HERE.

This image was made a few weeks ago while I was walking my dog.  I was looking for color and patterns.  It’s amazing what you can find if you just look down at the ground.  I shot it with the iPhone 13 MAX Pro and find the camera in this camera to be a big step up from the iPhone 12.

I hope you enjoy this image.

Stairway 3

Today I share another stairway which I captured in one way and rendered in two versions.  This was shot on an iPhone in the stairway at leica camera headquarters in Germany.  I really like the way it looks and that you can’t really tell what it is.  What do you think?

Oil Cans

Another from my Seeing Double – Being Square project – Oil Cans.  I have been working on this project for years, and I am Really getting close to wanting to publish a book on these images.  It’s a series I am doing all shot on an iPhone with the Hipstamatic app and a special film and lens combo.  Where ever I go even when shooting with my larger cameras I take a minute and shoot scenes with this setup.  The image here was of oil cans found at an antique store.

Sometimes You Just Luck Out

Double Exposure. Silo City, Buffalo, NY

You have recently seen a number of images from my Silo City series.  Usually, I am shooting with one of my larger setups like a Sony or Nikon while at these locations.  However, I also do a lot of experimenting and I also use my iPhone and try out new apps.  The app this was made with is called Hipstamatic.  It allows for a different variety of double exposure looks.  I do these exposures in color and BW.  This was a color one of the grain silos from across the canal.  It just worked with the tug boats at the right spot as well as the soft look of the silos in the background.  Hope you enjoy it.

It’s Been Too Long

I have committed a terrible thing by not keeping this site up to date.  My apologies.  Things sort of got away from me and I am trying to come in for a landing after a super busy summer of teaching workshops and travel.  So, I will do my best to get things back on track staring today.

Todays’ image was made in Torre Del Pines in Argentina.  We stopped for some fuel and here was this backetball hoop attached to this beautifyl wall. It was shot with an iPhone and enhnaced using Snapseed.

Pixel

Hey, it’s my website and every now and then I will share a personal photo or two.  This is one of those days.  I present my furry friend Pixel.  She’s an incredibly lovable cat.  She gets me and I get her.  I sometimes feel like we are in tune with each other.  I got her a small sick kitten.  It was touch and go for a while but I was a big part of nursing her back to health.  We bonded really well and today she is my little and very loving cat buddy.
