What’s Your Body Image
We want many things for ourselves, new music, new cars and new houses, but often we also wish for new bodies; or at the very least changed bodies. Recently I came across some videos related to this issue. They appeared reminiscent of the 50 People One Question videos; some of which I have posted here [...]
Waiting
I was in Harrisburg last week, a city I’m happy to drive the 20 minutes it takes to get there so that I can take pictures. This particular morning the humidity was low and being summer the lighting was too bright: even at 8:30am in the morning. So I stopped by the train station and [...]
Dreaming Harrisburg In A Reflection
A few weeks back I took a photo of a sculpture that can be found on Third St in Harrisburg. It is one of those sculptures that is made of shiny stainless steel which reflects back its surroundings. At the time I took the photo I wasn’t seeing the reflection: all I saw was the [...]

Something Deeply Spiritual
There is something deeply spiritual about this video. Please watch the video before reading further. There is something deeply spiritual about the feeling I get when watching this video, but that being said, I am not prepared to provide an explanation of what I am feeling. Mostly because I have no words that will describe either [...]
City Textures
The photo above is the first that occupied space in a new gallery I have titled City Textures. The photographs found in City Textures are part of my ongoing project to capture various cities without indication of place or time. Hopefully they will inspire others to see the cities they live in with fresh perspectives. [...]

Sometimes we have to pause . . .
When you look at an abstract piece of art, what do you see? Perhaps seeing is the wrong approach and you think your feelings might be a better set of eyes. But I would suggest that your head and heart together would be a perfectly tuned set of eyes. Do not let the head think [...]
Wave Photography
Don’t try this unless you have a waterproof camera. Wave photography at it’s coolest.

The Genius of Photography
I’m sitting in my living room enjoying the deepening snow outside (16″+) and browsing the net. I stumbled across this video on YouTube about the genius of photography and felt it was well worth sharing with my photographer friends. Enjoy Maybe later I’ll post a picture of the snowy scene outside.

Michael Nicholas and Full Disclosure
Each day I visit one or two of my favorite blogs, usually art or photography related, just to see what’s happening in the world my interests float around in. This morning I revisited Photocrati a blog that always piques my interest. It is run by a diverse group of photographers which keeps it fresh and always filled [...]
Happy Birthday Robert Burns
Scotland’s, favorite son, poet and songwriter is turning 251 today. Robert Burns is most remembered for the song Auld Lang Syne but has had over 368 of his poems recorded in song. Almost all of his works were written in the Scottish dialect of his day and have been translated into English for our benefit. He’s [...]

The Webb Sisters —- Words That Mobilize
Recently I was searching through the many videos of Leonard Cohen found on YouTube and came across the following video by the Webb Sisters. You might be asking, “What’s the connection with Leonard Cohen?” Well, The Webb Sisters, Charley and Hattie, recently completed a tour with Leonard. One of my favorite Cohen songs is ‘If [...]
Square Halo – Hearts and Minds
Just in case you missed the exhibition I mentioned in my last post, I promised that I would provide a link to a book that will in some way replicate the exhibition. Well here is that link: two links in fact. Square Halo is the publisher of the book Rouault-Fujimura: Soliloquies by Thomas S. Hibbs. And [...]

We don’t care what you do in NY
Recently I ran across two juxtaposed thoughts related to NY city; although they relate to a much larger picture. Peggy Noonan wrote an opinion piece for the online version of the Wall Street Journal today titled The Adam Lambert problem. She says “America is good at making practical compromises, and one of the compromises we’ve [...]
