In December of 2010 I visited Havana and Trinidad de Cuba. I was particularly fascinated by the way people manage to have vibrant lives in the midst of decaying once-magnificent buildings. The show is a Windows-executable file and takes about 9 minutes. Download Cuba - magnificence to squalor
Recent Photos
- Here are pictures in November when I went to Fort Point with my friend Dick Stahlke. Most of the Fort Point shots are 7- to 9- exposure HDR. The rest are more recent from various places in the Bay Area.
France
- In May of 2011 I took a trip to France. The main reason was to visit the South of France with an instructor, Gene Turner, but I also spent a week in Paris.
Cuba
- In December of 2010 I went on a one-week "humanitarian" trip with a group from PSA. It was the most concentrated and productive week in my photographic career. Here are the results.
Rust and Rubbish
- A lecture by the Canadian photographer Richard Martin inspired me to start photographing rusted junk cars. I believe that Ernst Haas was the first to see the possibilities in cars like these. I have also been photographing a large number of unconventional subjects besides junk cars, but that fit in the same category. Harbors are particularly fruitful sources for that sort of thing. I have also found many suitable subjects on and IN the street in my local area.
Reflections
- As part of my work on Rust, Rubbish, and Reflections I have assembled my favorite Reflection pictures in one place. A large percentage of them are made in harbors, particularly in Victoria BC and Iceland. Others are made in streams, puddles, windows, the sides of cars, and so on.
Pictorial
- Pictorial (sic) pictures are judged by their artistic quality, and any subject or process is acceptable. Often people will submit the best of their nature, travel, creative pictures as pictorial.
Travel
- "A travel picture must express the feeling of a time and place, portray a land, its people, or a culture in its natural state, and has no geographic limitations." This may seem clear, but different judges interpret it quite differently.
Creative
- "Creative photography is producing an image through the use of imaginative skill or originality of thought including the altering of reality. No image should be eliminated from consideration simply because it looks realistic, provided it shows originality of concept." Note: this does not require compter manipulation - unmanipulated images with unusual angles of view or subject selection often win.
Point Lobos
- These are all images made at Point Lobos State Reserve just south of Carmel, California. I am collecting them here even though they are also shown in other albums, to show what can be done at Pt. Lobos
Nature
- "The Nature Photography Division is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict observations from all branches of natural history, except anthropology and archaeology, in such a fashion that a well-informed person will be able to identify the subject matter and certify as to its honest presentation.
Southwest
- In October, 2004 my friend Dan Katzman and I went to the Colorado Plateau, primarily in the Paria Wilderness and the Escalante area, and stopped at Bryce Canyon on the way home. These pictures are from that trip. Then in June, 2010 I went with Dick Stahlke to Santa Fe via Monument Valley and returned via Sedona. The landscapes from that trip are also in this album
Photojournalism
- "Journalism entries shall consist of pictures with informative content and emotional impact, including human interest, documentary and spot news." .
France
- In May of 2011 I took a trip to France. The main reason was to visit the South of France with an instructor, Gene Turner, but I also spent a week in Paris.
