from the Urban Scenes gallery

Some unusual scenes found in more urban environments.

from the Looking Down gallery

While experimenting with a new camera many years ago, I discovered the wonders that can be found just by looking down.

from the Nightcrawling gallery

Unexpected sights found during late night drives, the camera flash distinguishing the subject.

from the Coney Island in Transition gallery

The amusement park areas of Coney Island is experiencing a revival after a long and complicated history of property disputes, midway changes and urban renewal. The original awe-inspiring Steeplechase Park (1897-1964), Luna Park (1903-1944) and Dreamland (1904-1911) are long gone, but new attractions have taken their place.

from the Southwest Vacation gallery

Most of these images are from a 2018 trip.

from the Land, Sky, Water gallery

from the South & East gallery

Impressions from road trips to visit friends and attend conferences.

from the Diptychs & gallery

An assortment of related images combined on a single print. Some deal with time, some as metaphor, a few just fit together.

from the Panoramas  gallery

A collection of various panoramas from combining multiple images. Some of these have a quite large native print size.

from the Interiors gallery

Details of public and private spaces.

from the Storefronts and Facades gallery

As I explore America, I come across interesting storefronts and facades of buildings that display traces of their history. Some seem to be abandoned, while others are being renovated. Besides the colors and textures of surface, I am attracted to the choices of window treatment.

from the On The Road gallery

Scenes from driving around the U.S.

from the Roots in Red Dirt (Oklahoma) gallery

My family moved out of state in 1967. I have returned many times to revisit familiar areas and discover other locations that exemplify the unique characteristics of the state we left behind. Oklahoma is one of those regions where traces of the past are never far from the persistent present. While some of these images reflect a personal connection to this area, all reveal aspects of our American identity.

from the New York City, 1980-1982 gallery

Views of Manhattan that characterize the flavor of the city from 1980-1982. Many of these prints were exhibited in 2022.

from the Chicago, 1977-1978 gallery

I visited Chicago in late 1977 in preparation for a semester at the School of the Art Institute in early 1978.

from The Pursuit of Happiness gallery

I went through a long period where I frequented bars and parties. Presumably, we were all chasing some kind of fun and social camaraderie. Most of these pictures were shot without looking through the camera viewfinder.

from the Portraits gallery

Some friends and acquaintances over the years.
