goodbye to the past... 2010 starts a new adventure
As with anything.... all good things must end. So I am concentrating on finishing up my studio and spending more time painting and drawing rather than photography. I still will contribute to a few national publications I am involved with and contributions to a book coming out hopefully soon with my concert photos from the 1970's and a new tabletop book of my strange and bizzare photos.. 1 printed so far. Maybe in the future I'll send a few hints as to what's going on in the photoworld in my neck of the woods.

something fishy going on here

Near my home is a place called crystal river, where year-round we have about 50-70 manatees or sea cows , you can snorkle or scuba with them, but can not feed or touch, which is fine with me.

Trippin back to the 70's

While cataloging 1000's of old negatives from the 70's and 80's I came across some of these that I took when I was in Art School from 1972-76. As you can tell we had some interesting subject matter and lots of fun photographing interesting people, places and subjects. Have a good laugh or cry...I did.
