Photographs for Purchase, Exhibition and Enjoyment
This page has all the links to the text heavy portion of the web site. You can find all sorts of miscellaneous information and text and publication projects.
I think that if an artist cannot communicate the intent of their art they have not completely thought through what it is their art is to accomplish. I do quite a bit of thinking about photography and the result of some of these thoughts appear on links from this page. Again, the format is Acrobat PDF files, so you may download and enjoy at your leisure.
I don't spend a lot of time photographing, but I do spend a lot of time thinking about photography. Sometimes I write these fragments down. Some are alternative takes on portfolio statements. Some are tangential thoughts that didn't make the final edit of a longer article. Some are observations on the photographic life that might be of interest to you, too.
Here are collections of Random Thoughts on Photography with some of my favorite images interspersed among the short articles. You have the choice of viewing these Adobe Acrobat files on line (the left column) or you can download the file (the right column) and print it out so you can read it without being stuck in front of your computer.

Please don't take this too seriously. I didn't. It's photographic humor and fun.

We are known by the company we keep. Here are some of my favorite photographic links on the world wide inter-web. These are people or places you should see.
Photography is the love child of Science and Art. Everyone wants to know about tech stuff. Photography requires a requisite amount to technical knowledge, be it alchemy or computer magic. It's fun and free to share knowledge (that's why I wrote the pages devoted to digital negatives). If we all are accomplished technically, it frees us to deal with the important issue, like "just what am I going to photograph?"
It's a log of all the major changes and how the site evolved. Really dull, but it reminds me what I did.
