1948 Chevy Stylemaster near downtown Ft. Scott
on a rainy morning. Part of my "Rustbuckets" essay.

Downtown Tulsa building. It is mostly red in color, but
it was fascinating in Black and White

This is Ed. He lives on Main Street. I met him during
my photo essay on Wichita's homeless community.

Where there's smoke...

Flint Hills fire...iconic here in the heartland...sometimes events such as these put your whole life in perspective...

nighttime fun

High rollers

2009-09-06T07:06:00.000-07:00

Saw this on the way to work in Downtown Wichita. Another reason to always carry a camera.

2009-07-09T05:43:00.000-07:00

The title is "Together". Not much else to say.

I hope my friend Runnnin' Jacky has a great

time in Montreal. Avec Avec!

Why are you taking my picture?

Nature

2009-05-06T19:13:00.000-07:00

Another one of those "you don't see this every day photos". But isn't that kind of what photography is all about? Presenting slices of time...either naturally, or through controlled reality.

tres hombras

2009-04-13T18:30:00.000-07:00

This is something you don't see every day. Getting ready for a garage sale. Used this on craigslist. No one offered to buy the mannequins or my photo.

Snow Day

2009-04-02T09:40:00.000-07:00

Sorry. Had to do it.

2009-03-18T08:39:00.001-07:00

It's almost like a can of rainbow spilled on to the building below

More western Kansas Fun!

Elevate

2009-02-17T14:17:00.000-08:00

The essence of Western Kansas (at least in my opinion)

Rules of Photography
1. Always carry a camera
2. Don't be afraid to use it
3. You will be rewarded with images to be proud of.

bug eyed sprite

2009-01-25T10:02:00.001-08:00

A favorite car amongst my mid 70's fraternity brothers. Owned by a guy named Chuck St. Erne. He is a renowned something or other. He was about 7 ' tall.

Mannequins

2008-12-31T14:13:00.000-08:00

Peel away the top layer and we are all the same.

I get to watch our new downtown arena go up a little more every day. Between me and the construction site is a billiards show room that has billiard balls on top of poles at each mullion. Very 60's. Former car dealership that burned in the 60's. But the arena is very cool. I work for one of the engineering companies and used to work for the lead architectural firm.

Christmas is a-comin'

2008-11-05T13:26:00.000-08:00

Every year I publish a Christmas Card and send it to friends and acquaintances. This is the card for Christmas 2008. Snow presents unique challenges in black and white photography, as you can imagine. Enjoy!

I went to this little girls wedding the other day. She is a beautiful, intelligent articulate young woman...a tribute to the time spent with her mother. The photo is titled "Discovery".

Sweet potato vine and fire bush herald the onset of autumn

2008-09-12T16:54:00.000-07:00

The title of this is Alone. Took it in the old Renfro Hotel in downtown Wichita in the mid 70's. this kid would be about 35 now. Wonder where he is???

Going nowhere fast

2008-08-04T08:42:00.000-07:00

This is how I feel somedays. Just kidding. Saw this in a small western Kansas town a few years back. It is amazing what you see when you get off even the smallest of two lane highways.

Delicate Death

2008-07-30T13:53:00.000-07:00

A crabapple tree in my front yard is dying -
The long, slender branches and limbs -
soon devoid of leaves -
create delicate shadows
on the blistering sidewalk
adjacent to the cool green grass -
I will miss it -
I will replace it -
One day, I will be replaced -
But will I be missed?

Wise men of wilson

2008-06-30T17:22:00.001-07:00

Went to the Czech Festival in Wilson Kansas a few years back. These fine fellows were sharing stories at the corner cafe.

2008-06-24T15:16:00.000-07:00

This photo caused a little controversy when exhibited. A guest at the gallery wanted to know why I took it and why I showed it. I told her because we see death every day and choose to ignore it...not just as individuals, but as a society. She asked if I took photos of rape, too. I laughed and told her look, it's not like I found the dog and took it around trying to find the best shot. It was there. I took the photo. It was a slice of time that stands as a metaphor for much more.

2008-06-18T07:31:00.000-07:00

My friend KL reminded me that I hadn't posted in a while. New job...very busy. But I am preparing for a photo show in the next Final friday here in Wichita and had been working on this image. Taken at a construction site in downtown Wichita late at night.

2008-05-12T17:06:00.000-07:00

I used to work for a company that designed zoo exhibits. Took this on a trip. Magnificent examples of the theory of evolution and natural selection.

2008-05-08T16:35:00.000-07:00

The wind turbines near Spearville. A unique beauty because of the size, repetition and motion.

2008-05-07T17:08:00.000-07:00

One of my series of Christmas Cards. Actually one of my favorites.
