I’m an author who’s as passionate about photography as I am about writing novels. It all started when I was a kid. My dad bought me a Kodak Instamatic 100 camera to take to summer camp. When I was in college I purchased a Nikkormat (Nikon) 35mm for a photography…
One day last summer I invited a good friend to lunch. “Annie,” a mutual friend, called as we were enjoying our meal. She invited us to stop by her place later that afternoon. I hadn’t seen Annie in some time, so I looked forward to seeing her. She lived in…
As I’ve mentioned before, some photos work well when converted to black and white. It’s fun to play around to find out which photos work, and which ones don’t. Sometimes the photos you think will really work actually don’t. Other times the results are amazing. Joy, one of my signature…

The city already has a colorful downtown, with its interesting architecture and colorfully painted buildings. In…
I lived in San Francisco in the late 1980s. At the time it was a bustling, vibrant city with plenty of interesting places to see and things to do. It was also was a photographers paradise. Like many photographers, I shot dozens of photos of the Golden Gate Bridge. The…
Believe it or not, there are people out there who prefer to travel by train. One of whom is a freind in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Honestly, I think she may be onto something. Lately it seems like every time I go on YouTube, here’s yet another video about another…
Just when I thought I was done with the St. Philp’s Plaza series, I found another interesting photo to add to the collection. This series goes back to the spring of 2020. The pandemic lockdowns created some unique opportunties for photography. St. Philp’s Plaza, an upscale shopping center in Tucson,…
I’m starting a new series called, “Vintage Arizona State.” The ASU campus in Tempe, Arizona, has changed quite a bit since I was a student. One of the more notable changes is Sun Devil Stadium. I’m not exactly sure when the stadium was first built. My best guess would be…
