I am enthralled by Still-Lifes..both Paintings and Photography. Mostly Photography. I've been mesmerized by certain images I've discovered on several sites. The creativity alone stuns me, but more the patience, attention to detail, the technical excellence all working in concert to produce an image that is Siren-Like in that it beckons and draws me in to view it for what seems like hours. I remember spending several hours with a dear and close friend who is a renown NYC high-end product photographer. He was shooting an expensive gold pocket watch for Neiman-Marcs Christmas catalog. Simple, right? After 4 hours, I had to get out of there and smoke a joint on the street -(mid-1970s). But the end result was magnificent in its elegance and poetic eloquence. Me? This image? My approach is quite different. Even when shooting large format, I rare had the patience of an Adams. I could wait for a sunrise , etc, but while I was waiting, I was still shooting and moving the 4x5 around like a madman. Then I got the sunrise. The point? That's my process and how I got this image. As a photo-journalist, Nikon motor drives were gifts from heaven and don't let anyone tell you different. Bob Gilka, The God Photo Director at National Geographic, admitted that much to us at Missouri. He said the 'one-shot' was a bullshit myth. He you covered the subject every which way and used up as much film as you needed TO GET THE GD SHOT!! (Gilka's volume; language censored) Interesting but irrelevant anecdotes I guess. An old man wandering...

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!
