I am in Shenzhen, China where I am overseeing the printing of my book, “The Color of Light”. This is a pretty exciting time for me as this book has been almost 4o years in the making. It’s a collection of some of my favorite personal images… some iconic and some never before published. Subject-wise…
The Brick
With all the talk about the new DSLR cameras with their megapixel possibilities, it was refreshing to find an “old friend”… the Argus C3 rangefinder (circa 1938-1956) at a recent photo swap meet in Vancouver. Affectionately referred to as “the brick” (it’s heavy enough to use as a doorstop or pound fence posts with), I…
Cuba… Old Cars, Great Cigars and More
Cuba is one of those places that most of us think about with a mixed sense of wonder and mystery. Having just had the opportunity to visit and photograph there, courtesy of a cultural exchange, I finally got my opportunity to see and experience this country first hand.

The Color of Iceland
I recently returned from my first workshop/photo tour in Iceland in conjunction with the great people at Focus on Nature. When most people think of Iceland, they think of an amazing natural geological, geographical, geothermal landscape. And while we not only explored those aspects of this phenomenal country, we also took advantage of photographing the “local color”… the…

Story Telling
People,cultures, landscape, architecture, industry, politics are all defined by their environment. And each of these topics helps define a place. In creating photographs that illustrate a “sense of place” it’s important to approach your subject like a story teller. Each image needs to help convey a message and, at the same time, build on each…
