Website is Overhauled

My website is now completely redesigned, with a new look and new galleries.
At the top level you can see sample images from many of my galleries by clicking the Favorites or Sampler links. Other galleries are now separated into Series vs. Landscape instead of B&W vs. Color.
There are lots of new images, and more galleries will be up within a couple of weeks.
Three of my photos are now in the August issue of Black and White Magazine, the Special 2010 Portfolio Issue, on pages 176 and 177.

The Blanket

My website has been updated (improved, I hope), and I have added a page called "Blanket" that gives some of the history of the image I use for an icon on each page.

Also, my new "Print of the Month" for February 2009 is now up on the home page and the "Print of the Month" page.

I think I am done fiddling with the site for a while, and I expect to get back to making more photographs so I can add new galleries and expand the existing ones.

New website is up!

My newly redesigned website is now up, a few days ahead of schedule. The site features the first of my new "Photo of the Month" selections for December, 2008, as well as nine galleries of photographs. I would be happy to receive feedback about the site's appearance and usability.

Welcome to my blog

This blog will mostly be about photography and the people and events that have influenced me. My photography owes a great deal to two extraordinary teachers, Minor White and Paul Caponigro, about whom I intend to write frequently.

I will mention equipment from time to time, but my own interest is more in ideas than gadgets. Nevertheless, the gadgets that I have owned have often affected my photography. More about that later.

For any of you who read this soon, I urge you to get to a large and terrific exhibit of gelatin-silver prints by Paul Caponigro now showing (through December 14, 2008) at the Hallmark Museum of Contemporary Photography at 52/56 Avenue A, Turners Falls, MA 01376. For details, check their website at hmcp.org .

Calendars for 2009:

The two photos at the top are included in the two hand-printed letter-size calendars I have designed for 2009. One is called "Classic Black and White" and includes scanned images from several of my favorite prints from darkroom days. The other has color images from last April's trip to New Mexico. More information is on my website at the Calendars link.

Note that the heading of this post, "Welcome to my blog", is a link to my website.
