06/23/11--21:42: We really need some rain (chan 2682008)

It’s been very dry this summer and our area of town (Mandarin) seems to be dodging the afternoon showers all week. I drove through a deluge coming home today but only a few drops fell in the neighborhood. I took a drive out to one of my favorite spots down the road to check out [...]


06/25/11--18:46: White Oak Conservation Center – Arts and the Environment (chan 2682008)

45 miles north of Jacksonville, on border of Florida and Georgia along the St. Mary’s River, lay 7000 acres of pristine woodlands and fields. Housed on this compound is an amazing assortment of animals, studios, and a wildlife conservation center. This is White Oak, home to white rhinos, giraffes, okapis, cheetahs, and the Baryshnikov Dance Studio. [...]


07/04/11--10:11: July 4th – Family, fun, and fireworks (chan 2682008)

July 4th is always a good holiday to divide up the year and reflect on what has happened and what is yet to come. I was fortunate to leave the heat and humidity of Jacksonville to spend a few days with Diana’s in-laws and Dorian’s brother in Ohio. We enjoyed fireworks on July [...]


07/23/11--09:50: IPA Awards (chan 2682008)

Last year I entered several images for the International Photography Awards and just discovered (quite by accident) that I won an Honorable Mention – Cityscapes for my City Views Submission. I guess they never formally announced any winners, so when I went to submit again for 2011 I started browsing the last year’s winners and [...]


07/23/11--13:32: Fine Art Print Workflow (chan 2682008)

Here is something to try if you want to test your skills as a photographer and printer: Obtain a painting from your favorite watercolor artist. In my case, it’s my studio mate Robert Leedy. Photograph the painting. Make any adjustments in your favorite software. Make a print of the painting, same size as the original, on fine art paper, [...]


09/21/11--12:30: IPA Awards – 2011 (chan 2682008)

My last submission of Straight and Twisted to the IPA won an Honorable Mention in the Professional Category – Trees. I remember agonizing over what category to use, Professional or Non-professional. I figured I’m a professional now so I went for it. This is a huge competition with hundreds of awards, so I’m careful not [...]


10/08/11--07:54: Message in a Bottle: Wall of Light (chan 2682008)

I’m close to launching a new project that I’m super excited about. It was conceived originally as an art project based on our activity at Main Street Park for the past 2 months. I wanted to create something in the large planter that runs the length of the block. I envisioned a sculpture that could [...]


12/05/11--09:21: December Arbus cover (chan 2682008)

I was thrilled to have my amaryllis photo on the Arbus December cover. These photos were from a dining room table shoot on January 1 of this year. The issue also contained 3 other stories about projects I’m involved in: Message in a Bottle (page 12) , CoRK (page 14), and the Pop-up Galleries at [...]


12/17/11--13:53: Sunrise at Jax Beach Pier (chan 2682008)

It’s been a while since I updated the blog. I apologize to all of you who frequent my site to see what’s going on. I hope you didn’t give up on me. I don’t know why we quit blogging…I think everyone who has a blog gets complacent once in a while. We’ll see if I [...]


01/03/12--13:00: Help Portrait 2011 (chan 2682008)

For the third year in a row I’ve participated in the Help-Portrait project at the Family Promise Center in Jacksonville. This year my good photo buddy, Gray Quetti stepped up to do all the shooting, and I have to admit he really knows what he is doing. We did the shoot on December 10, which [...]
