Spring Garden

This is an image of my garden. Joy comes from giving pleasure and creating life that sustains the people we love. It is an important creative outlet for me as well as something special I share with my daughter. In early Spring before we sow the seeds we look toward the garden with eyes of hope and the promise of renewal, revival, awakening, rebirth, recharging, recommencement, refilling, reformation, regeneration, rejuvenation, reopening, replenishment, restoration, resumption, resurrection, revitalization.

Piazza San Marco

This is another example of a two-dimensional surface photograph of an architectural structures that blocks the viewer from any deep visual space.

I like surface qualities and textures of things like wood, brick and stone. It is interesting finding contrasts between graphic surfaces. I also enjoy photographing two-dimensional surfaces like fronts of architectural structures that block the viewer from any deep visual space. I admire Walker Evans, Arthur Rothstein, Ben Shahn and Dorothea Lange’s pictures that depicted 1930’s American lifestyle. I recommend looking at examples of all of their work especially in today’s political climate.
