  • 65 Years (part II): with the Holga

    I made a decision to document one of the most important trips I may ever take, with two cameras: my Rolleiflex and my Holga. The Rolleiflex, I love, so that was an easy decision. But the Holga, I was not so sure about. I knew it could be wonderful, but I also knew it could…

  • Playing with clouds and shutter speeds, in Window Rock, Arizona…

  • The Last You’ll Hear From Me… for a little while…

    I am taking a break…. Packing my belongings….. Saying goodbye to Lou… And heading to the airport… I will be hiking up Mt Rainier and then kayaking around Lopez Island, in Washington State, for the next week, with all my relatives, as we celebrate my grandparents’ (not pictured above) 65th wedding anniversary. I can’t wait.

  • Natural Light and Fiber Arts…

    Peggy Osterkamp needed photos of her latest woven art pieces for a competition… so back to the barn we went, my favorite studio, especially now that it has the skylights. I just hung up a black cloth and away we went. I don’t know that I will ever use real lights, as long as I…

    1… You get to snuggle and kiss the person you love most. 2… You can visit amazing places you have never been before… like Samuel P. Taylor, home to endangered salmon and giant redwood trees. 3…. You get to practice being photographed during intimate moments, which you will soon have to do many many times…

  • Baby Therapy…

  • That’s What It’s All About…

    Congratulations to Andy and Molly… another Walker Creek Ranch dating success story. Walker Creek Ranch is an outdoor science school in Marin County where fifth and sixth graders come for a week as their big school trip of the year. At the Ranch there are 10 Naturalists who are in charge of teaching the students…

  • Comfort food at Town Hall…

    In my interview for a book proposal with the guys responsible for Town Hall, a restaurant in San Francisco, one of them asked me, “So, are you a food photographer, is that what you do?’ I said, “No, I photograph people.” Maybe that isn’t the best response when you are interviewing to take photos for…

  • I Don’t Play Favorites…

    I just returned from my visit to South Carolina, where I spent most of my time with my mom. But during my last few days at home I also visited a couple of friends who I have known since elementary school, and who now have kids of their own that they wanted photographed. And because…

  • Happy Independence Day, America…

    The only fireworks I saw this year were on my mom’s shirt. We had a very quiet 4th, celebrating with mac and cheese, a bottle of wine and a bad movie. As we were hidden away in the suburbs of rural South Carolina, I thought about all the people out there celebrating with lots of…
