When I lived in Los Angeles, I had an LAPD Press Pass that got me access to everything...the LA Riots, Northridge Quake, and Malibu Fires for Time, Life Newsweek and Corbis. Damn I loved it...adrenalin junkie. On May 2, 2022 another shooter and I drove up to view the Calf Canyon/Hermit's Peak Fire. We got as close as possible. I hate being a civilian! Okay, I'm a 74 year old civilian...I wanted to flag down an incoming vehicle and beg the driver to take me with him into the front lines or at least close. My friend looked at me like I was insane. He yelled at me and wanted no part of it. Once again, I had to accept that that was something I would have done 20 years ago...but not in 2022. Anyway, I began shooting this scene with my 80-400 Nikkor zoom, D-300s at ISO 800, Polarizer, and hand-held. And yes I worked on this in post-production for several reasons. First, it's the way I saw it in my mind. With all that destructive power there was also a regal magnificence. The original RAW image is realistic, but doesn't convey much except to the soul. I wanted to share with you that this image is exactly how I want you to experience what I saw and felt. Here's hoping.. IMAGE: 16"W x 10.5"H PAPER: 22"W x 17.0"H

First off I wouldn't have evolved this far as an artist without the deep friendship of two very special shooters...Chipp Jamison and Keith Williamson. And I wouldn't have understood anything about technique and 'seeing' without my longtime mentor and friend, Phil Zimmerman. It was suggested that I talk about what motivates me to That's always been difficult for me. I've always held to DH Lawrence's warning of 'Never Trust the Teller; Trust the Tale'. So here goes..When my camera and lens come up to my eye everything changes in me. My eye, brain, heart body and soul align. I become a part of. And it's a magical and glorious feeling...a physical rush as well as a spiritual one. My nose is crushed against my face; I realize I'm not breathing. All of me is concentrated on what I see through the viewfinder and flowing to that image. I see it; I feel it; my pulse is racing; I rapidly bracket (an old habit from my analog days) because I want the moment to last; and I know exactly what it's going to look like when I download it to Photoshop. I have this same experience whether the subject is rust on old cars, the Dunes, People, news events, my Mannequin, Landscapes, Water, or Flowers. And the best aspect of photography for me is that I get to experience all the joy of that one image over and over. There are a lot of images here and I keep posting more. I'm prolific. I'm a shooter and an artist. It's who I am. The images are as real and honest as I am. Enjoy!
