Self Inflicted

The artist as subject has long fascinated me.

Lee Friedlander,Robert Frank, John Coplans,and Cindy Sherman to name a few , have pointed their cameras at themselves to document their physical changes thru the decades.

I myself until recently have never been that comfortable or all that interested in what I look like.

I'm going to be 47 in a little over a month - and its starting to show".

Not in a bad way, as I'm in excellent physical shape. I've done an Ironman Triathlon , 7 or 8 marathons and still get my daily workouts in .

What I see are the signs of life finally showing up in my face and hands. I've raised a family and did my best to create a comfortable home........its starting to show.  

Not sure where this is going , or how its going to evolve but here's a few to start with.

Be well and take a big ass bite out of the world today.

A Daughter's Eye

I'm very blessed to have a daughter that never ceases to amaze me.

She's entering university this Fall as an Engineering student, but her skills with the camera show more than just promise. These happen to be on my laptop for some reason. I hope she doesn't mind me sharing them for now.

From her trip to Rome and Switzerland 2 years ago..........










She takes pictures like she writes. Transparent, clear as lake water.

I'm so very proud to be her father.

Spring Sketches


Kinderhook Creek at Stuyvesant, New York  2010

Hudson , New York  2010


By mid April I find myself once again drawn to afternoon light, especially in the East coast where it glows around
3:30-4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Falling shadows can take on heroic proportions and lingering light..... loud as bells !
