  • For Tom

    It doesn’t matter whether you won or lost…. just that you tried your best. So just keep trying. Update: Like this photo? Now it’s available as a matted archival print here in my Etsy shop.

  • Postcards from London, vol. 1; Letterforms

    I’ve been doing a bit of traveling again, recently. Last week I was away at a conference and this weekend I find myself in London. Finally, I’m picking up the camera again, mostly for quick snapshots or to record fragments of ideas; even so it feels good. Here are a few snaps from the last…

  • 5 pictures

    I’ve been inside for most of the day editing, ironically, images of the beautiful autumn colors outside. Here are just a few: Couldn’t resist the abruptness of the last image in contrast to the other four.

  • September

    A number of you have asked me what ever happened to September. Allow me to illustrate with a photo: I always felt it was better to show rather than tell. Wouldn’t you agree? Image: Me

  • Grateful

    Notes like this remind me of how lucky I am to have friends like I do– a little bit of silliness to share a smile. Thank you, Jake, for being such a great friend all these years.

  • Wrong Side Up

  • Initials

    Out of order?(not if you ask me)

  • Signs in London

    It is always interesting to see what sort of messages a different culture sends out, even one so seemingly similar. Here are a few highlights from a trip to London a few weeks ago:

  • Lately I can’t seem to….

    At least, not on the side projects I’d like to be working on….

  • Textures from the Industrial Desert

    Several more from last month’s trip:

  • What is past…

    From my Santa Fe trip last month:
