My gallery at Fine Art America is still alive and well, and it's where I offer a selection of my photographs. The selection will grow slowly but steadily. And as of today it has a new address. Check it out here:

The beautiful image today means nothing. It’s worth shit. In fact, it’s almost as if it has the opposite effect, because you’re just like everything else out there.

I'm surrounded by wild desert, but there is a human presence here too. I took some shots of it this morning. You'll probably see a few here today. You've been warned...

Whenever I find myself copying myself - making pictures whose problems I've already solved - I give myself new issues to pursue.

Yeah, ok, I'm doing some color for awhile. I'm learning how to tame the beast.

The center spread from the test copy of my latest zine (book?), "Myths and Other Lies: The American Southwest". I'm going to make a few edits and get it back to the printer in the next couple of weeks. Final copies coming soon hopefully.

To see something ordinary, something you’d see every day, and recognise it as a photographic possibility – that’s what I’m interested in.

Sometimes it's just gray. Even here in the desert.

Like anything else, there are plenty of exceptions. But still...

I went on to Flickr and it was just thousands of pieces of shit, and I just couldn’t believe it. And it’s just all conventional, it’s all cliches, it’s just one visual convention after another.

A quick grab shot of an everyday subject. In color yet. Nothing to write home about, but I kinda like it. Go figure...

I post regularly over at dt too. Don't get much traffic but it is my home turf. Gotta keep it alive.
