2 Wheel Hot Rodding

Taken at Talent, Oregon's skate park.

No Parking

This sign was posted above Big Squaw Lake in Southern Oregon's Applegate Valley.

The Dancers

Taken during an informal dance/photography gathering where I ended up doing a little of both.

Tonopah Window

Silver was discovered in Tonopah, Nevada in 1900. The town quickly became known as "Queen of the Silver Camps." This image of a crumbling window is from a deserted building there.

Missing You

"Missing You" was taken outside a shop on the strip in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Before The Parade

Medford, Oregon celebrates the arrival of spring with its annual Pear Blossom Parade on the second Saturday in April. I always enjoy arriving a little early before the participants assume their routines.

Stopped Bus

This bus was sitting on the lot at Jim's Better Buys in Talent, OR.

Skyward

Discerning unexpected relationships is one of my preoccupations. "Skyward" was taken on the parking lot of Shop & Kart Market in Ashland.

Peeling Paint

"Peeling Paint" was photographed on the wall of an unused, weather-beaten building at Siskiyou County Airport in California.

Unseen

"Unseen" was taken from Amtrak's Coast Starlight as we pulled into a station in Northwest Oregon.

Western Wall

This wall in historic Jacksonville, Oregon is well preserved and enjoyed by Britt Festival attendees and tourists alike.

Van Back

This is a closeup of the back of an old VW Van spotted along one of Ashland's quiet alleyways.

Covered Car and Moose Head

Robert Frank's iconic image, "Covered Car - Long Beach, CA" has affected me ever since I laid eyes on it in his book, THE AMERICANS (1958). I rarely pass a covered car without remembering the mystery Frank's image evokes in me and without considering it as a subject. Click here to see Frank's image.

Napping Cola

First off, I'm not a cola drinker, but it was a pleasant surprise to come across this cola truck with "unparalleled" sliding doors.

Plant Mirage

This plant is located in North Medford, OR

Window Secrets

"Window Secrets" was taken at an abandoned farm house near Cantrall Buckley Park along Oregon's beautiful Applegate River.

Defrosting

Looking at morning frost and the abstract patterns created as it begins to melt, rarely fails to fascinate me.

Garaged

What's behind these garage doors by Crater Lake Highway in Medford is a mystery to me. Nevertheless, I found their external order and simplicity inviting.

Utility Pole

Taken on an overcast day in Medford, Oregon

Semi Sandwich

Traveling south on I-5 in northernmost Siskiyou County, CA, a pocket of fog engulfed us as we passed one semi and approached another.

I-5 Overpass

This Interstate 5 overpass crosses Eagle Mill Road in Ashland. I've always been intrigued with the light under the overpass and on this foggy morning it was particularly appealing.

Indian Memorial Road

This section of Dead Indian Road is about five miles above Ashland. I merged two images, one sharp and the other intentionally blurred to accomplish this effect.

Santa's Helper

Coming down the chimney chute may have proved a lot easier for this Santa as he needed help to squeeze into the sidecar of a Harley. Hundred's of cyclists waited patiently for him to get "comfortable" before starting the first leg of Medford, Oregon's annual Toy Run.

Bug Side with Flakes

This VW Bug ©1965 is standing on the lot of a Volkswagen Repair Shop in Ashland, OR

Toy Run Fringe

"Toy Run Fringe" was taken as cyclists gathered for the annual Toy Run in Medford, Oregon. I was focusing on the fringe areas away from the event itself.

Mirror Check

This young woman was checking herself out before one of Ashland, Oregon's annual Fourth of July parades.

Autumn Winds

"Autumn Woods" is an exploration into the boundaries between photography and painting and ways they intertwine.

Tree Apparitions

Another exploration with slow shutter speeds out the window of a moving vehicle. I never know what will result and end up tossing most attempts, but like the feel of this one.

Blank Billboard

Blank Billboard was taken during a trip to my old stomping grounds near Philadelphia, PA in March.

Grain Elevator

Another exploration during our stay in Worden was in the area around Tule Lake. "Grain Elevator" is on route 139 slightly south of the Oregon Border.
