<br />
This blog was designed and dedicated to only one photo call for art project entitled Favorite Places. And, it will remain open until another project is created. In the meantime, please enjoy revisiting the process and the outcome of this group effort. <br />
<br />
I will announce the next project on this blog once it has come to fruition.<br />
<br />
Again, many thanks for following along and for supporting these great artists.<br />
<br />
I hope you have a happy holiday season and creative new year around the corner.<br />
<br />
<br />
Best,<br />

<em><span style="font-size: large;">p.s. a new blog is in the workings that will promote my support for the Town of Danville's Town Theater and Art Gallery. I am currently an appointed member of their 2014/2015 jury art committee. There are many exciting exhibitions planned and lectures to accompany them. So, stay tuned. I will publish the new blog address once it is set up.</span></em><br />

beautiful subjects, and they’re so accessible. We are fortunate to have so much
park land – City, Regional and State – so close to us. I enjoy sharing my
corner of the world, through social media. I have also had some of my work

so I know when to go to my favorite spots, and capture my favorite scenes –
sunrises, sunsets, waterfalls, wildflowers, wildlife, green hills, etc. I enjoy
looking outside at the clouds, or seeing where the sun may go down, and finding
a spot to go capture the scene. I know how long it takes me to get to my
favorite spots. I know how to walk back in the dark, and I feel safe doing it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

been shooting for 3 ½ years, in earnest. That’s when I got a DSLR – a Nikon
D40. I guess that my only discovery is how much I enjoy photography. Not just
the shooting, but the post-processing. I work in IT, and I’ve met a lot of
photographers who are IT people. I’m not sure if there’s a connection. My
favorite part of photography is that it gets me outside. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

places that are within 15 minutes of home, and I visit them frequently. Beauty
is everywhere, as long as you are open to see it. You can also see something
unique in a scene that you have been by several times. It’s all about slowing

sights and sounds. A great piece of advice I received from a photo instructor,
is that you should always look around 360 degrees, no matter what your intended
subject. While looking at a sunset, you might miss the alpenglow behind you. I
try to remember to do that, and often catch things that I would have missed.
Awareness of sounds has helped me capture wildlife.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A: I had always taken a variety of art classes throughout
my life, my first photo class was during a summer school session when I was in
second grade I believe. I studied architecture in high school, and during my
first year of college at Diablo Valley College. I decided to take a semester
off from path and by coincidence, enrolled in a photography class. For a
variety of reasons, I never looked back. However, to this day, my architecture
studies are a huge part of how I use the frame of a camera, and many other
elements of my artwork and design. I continued on to San Francisco State
University for both my BA and MA. I had the incredible opportunity to study
with some luminaries in the photographic community, as well as with some other
students that have become forces in their own right.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are many things to list, but perhaps the top of
that list was being a witness to so many lives learning to see and interpret
the world through a camera lens, translating those ideas into photographs that
somehow changed their lives, or at least on how they saw various aspects of
their own lives.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

your music)? </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I look at the world that is about me and am fascinated
by the visual and physical relationships that surround us all daily. I use a
camera as a tool to record relationships that may only exist by virtue of being
in a frame that I use, forcing the coexistence to be actual, at least for a
fraction of a second. That brief period of time is unique, and it will not be
seen ever again. That specificity of light and action and I share that brief
interlude, and through the photograph, it gets shared. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have had the parallel experience of having a
performing musician since 1966. In that time, I have been able to find a
connection between making photographs and playing drums. That constant is the
element of time, inasmuch as both are dependent on the fraction of a second
prior to, and subsequently, any given moment that happens either in performance
or in camera. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All of us find a way to document our own experiences
and share them with the world. I am blessed to have been able to find a
fascination with the photograph, and the printed image. It takes trust, and
faith in the belief in the validity of a personal way of seeing. There are no
images any better than any other; they are just different for everyone. The
importance is their source…<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q: I enjoyed reading your artist's statement last week. Can you please expand upon it by saying
more about your process meaning the experience while shooting and printing considerations?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A: This body of work spanned several years and several
thousand rolls of film. I located several locations in the greater Bay Area
that still had horses in an open environment, and proceeded to study each
creature for the sense of space and body language. Since I was using a very
wide field lens, I had to be very close to these animals that could very
seriously harm humans instantly, and it was important to respect them and learn
their communicative mannerisms. I read about “Horse Body Language” and managed
to get within a few feet of these magnificent creatures. Of course, there were
incidents that brought questions about my mortality, but generally I found that
trust became the issue and respecting the sense of territory becoming minimal
as a result. Humans could learn from this behavior.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The actual process involved using a hand held medium
format camera in conjunction with a daylight flash exposure. The actual
exposure would vary from ½ to 5 second shutter speeds, having the flash fire at
the onset of the exposure, resulting in a combination of light sources. These
exposures were made in very radical light conditions generally, requiring very
special and precise processing of the film to adjust for those conditions. The
printing was done originally on AGFA Portiga Rapid paper, but the manufacturer
changed the surface appearance and that meant using a new paper, and reprinting
some of the originals, once a replacement was determined. The paper chosen was Kodak
Polycontast. The printing was done in editions of 5, all then archivally
processed and toned in a 1:9 selenium toner. All is printed at 14x17 on 16x20 paper;
matted 20x24 with white 4 ply rag board.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

your current work?<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-fareast-language: JA;">A: I have most currently worked shooting in more urban
locales, and less with artificial light, but the sense of movement and direction
are still a major concept and are part of that work. The smells have changed
too… </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unlike most other mediums of visual interpretation,
photography stands in a unique and special relationship with Time, for it
describes only the present, that at a mere fraction of the total element, which
instantly becomes a past moment upon the next frame replacing that exposure
with a new receptacle for information.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>All photographs are time exposures, varying only in duration and each
describes a certain private encirclement of time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The photographer must interpret, and in a
sense predict, time every time the camera comes armed with film.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">These photographs span several elements of Time.
Historically, animals have been a major element in man’s visual interaction
with environment. These photographs explore the resulting parallel between the
social structures of the contemporary human society and that of the animals,
using time as the vehicle for travel. They also incorporate an intentional
contradiction of time by using very long exposures in the camera to force a
blending of light and shape and an electronic strobe to burst through the
mixture while inscribing a frozen parcel of the total image. The images then
capitalize; even thrive, on the primitive, sometimes violent, contrast between
implied beauty and force of the animals photographed. Once hunted and
elementally vital as a means of survival, Horses, upon domestication, become a
beast of burden and worship simultaneously.</span></div>
