Growing Graves

Salinas, CA. No land is wasted in the pursuit of fresh vegetables with this patch right of green next to the best organic material available…

Here Comes “The Sun”, Issue 431

Saturday, October 15th, 2011

Back from Chicago’s Black Cloud Gallery and the Beginnings exhibition opening with my flag photo (thanks all, wonderful time) and I find a packet in the mail of The Sun Magazine copies (thanks Sun!) with a photo of mine inside. Sent it a couple years ago, a familiar sight in Santa Monica for anyone who has spent months of their life there. November 2011 issue, page 28.

Road Blocked

Sunday, February 6th, 2011

The meeting of machines on a narrow sidewalk, not enough room to avoid confrontation. I say, he who flies the flag gets the honors. Los Angeles/Echo Park, CA.

Machine Empty…

Do not use. Recent scan from cross-processed neg, 2005 Michigan State Fair. Near the end.

North of Yosemite

Just north of Yosemite. The real meets the ideal. I honestly do not know which representation is better.

Dust Bowl Blues

Sunday, December 5th, 2010

South of Fresno, CA (Fall 2010) a couple cars parked off the highway next to the fill-er-up. Dust caked and time baked to distinction. Ultimately bound for glory in my book. Nice juxtaposition with the Christmas lights permanently fixed to the house.

Reliable Handyman. Assume Nothing.

On a pole on the way home last night. Royal Oak, MI. Zooming in on full-size image you can see the brush strokes of the painting artist signed “Estelle Janatto 12 70″

Grand Canyon Skywalk

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008


Well I’ll tell ya, if you’re thinking about going to the Grand Canyon Skywalk on the western side of the Canyon, don’t drive your own car. There are 14 miles of unpaved road (each way) that will tear your vehicle a-part. And when after over an hour of navigating ruts, dust and trenches, be prepared to pay $20 for the experience (parking). Then another $30 (per person) for a further bus ride to the walk itself. I couldn’t justify it, no sir. Ate the parking fee and turned around. Especially since a rock flew up on the way back and dinged the windshield. Fortunately, it was a rental. I didn’t stop vibrating for days. No wonder everyone I saw heading back had a look of “get me out of here” in their eyes.
