From October 2015:

Here is my spotlight on Chase St. Park Warehouse. This afternoon the members of the Athens Area Arts Council Board went over to survey the space. I had never been to the Warehouse with an eye toward photographing the space but I was so inspired while I was there! There are beautiful colors and textures and compositions and lines. The sun was behind the clouds today so I tried to focus on colors and lines – and included some black and white shots too. See what you think!

In January 2016 I decided to make my first submission to the Lyndon House 42nd Juried Exhibition. I love Athens and I had told myself that I would feel like a “real” photographer if I landed some of my work at the Lyndon House, our famed city arts center. I curated 6 photos to choose from with the intent to narrow them down to three. I had two “themes:” one was nature and the built environment, and the other was minimal architectural. After asking for votes online I decided to go with the minimal architectural theme and two of the three were chosen for the exhibition! Minimal 1 and 2 were chosen and displayed at the Lyndon House next to a handful of additional photographs. The art writer in our independent magazine compared my photos with those of the minimal works of Ellsworth Kelly. I think I’d call that a win! 

I’ll admit that I’m addicted to the North Campus Parking Deck on the UGA campus. On this morning I was actually out for a run and — because of the daily photo challenge I had set for myself — I carried my camera along. This is my Sony A6000 with a 20mm prime lens attached. Pretty much my go-to set-up because it is so small and easy to carry. As you can see from the gray sky it was rather overcast that morning but the clouds were finally breaking up and I could tell that I’d have an amazing sunrise. I ran to the top of the North Campus deck because it is the highest and most accessible spot from my house. I quickly noticed the effect that the sunrise was having on this metal “fence.” That is the rising sun reflecting off the side of those wide metal slats. This was one of my most engaging moments with my camera and the sun and the urban environment. I could have stayed there all morning but I had to get home, get showered, and go to work.

I’m trying to consolidate my old website and my new but the only thing that exists at the old one are old blog posts.  And so I will be slowly moving old blog posts to this new website. I’ll call them all throwback because none of these will be new photos. They will be from 2016 and before. I hope you enjoy visiting these old photos as much as I have. Thanks!

Here’s a small set taken on the campus of University of Georgia last January 2016 at the football stadium. Which was, of course, abandoned because football season was over.

Had a great visit to Dallas, Texas! What a city! And the architecture! I had some sunny days and amazing weather. Here’s my photo set. Enjoy!

A few of my shots of the color and flavor of New Orleans. Primarily in the Garden District and the French Quarter. Enjoy!

Here are some of my favorite photos from 2016 that all have an urban-abstract or minimal-sorta or Escher-esque-ish vibe. 

When I travel I like to take pictures that I hope might show a “slice of life” of the region I am visiting. This is why I like taking photos from the passenger seat of a moving car. I hope my photos help give you an idea about what Arkansas looks like, what Florida looks like, what New York state looks like. Here is a series from my most recent travels. They include photos from a car and also some standing still.
