Photos in a Minor Key (and a personal note) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dear Readers, I hope this finds you well. It’s time for another Photos in a Minor Key post…plus a few more personal bits than usual. What is this series about? Some photographs feel like minor key chords to me — tender, nostalgic, sometimes dramatic, always a little unresolved. This periodic series presents the photographic frames that like notes in a minor key, don’t quite belong anywhere else. Call them the B-sides that linger— accompanied by the feelings that the songs evoke. There are 15 sta

Hello Readers, Summer was supposed to be over by now but El Niño and Atlanta are in cahoots. I’m so over it! It was 90 degrees at the city’s airshow today. We had lunch, walked out with the crowd to gather by the vintage planes and wait for the show. The sun felt like a giant blow dryer that is too close to the scalp.

Dear Readers, last week ended with the last set of frames from my single use film shots in the northeast.

Though photos are always included, the spotlight falls on more personal reflections.So apparently, redirecting my a
Two Updates: Delaware Disposable Dreams, part three (opens the original)
Read excerpt
1. The last framesHappy weekend! This week, I’d like to share two projects occupying my time. One is the last set of frames from the second Fujifilm disposable camera: Part 3 of Throw Away Your Camera. I took them on walks around my place of stay in Delaware. I have loads of digital images for another day, but the film shots are special to me. Again, I only had a vague notion of what I was looking to photograph, a real tolerance for ambiguity and extremely low expectations. Since I’ve returned,
