New Project

‘pho∙to∙gra∙phy’ (etymology of): from photos (ϕοτοσ), light, and graphos (γραοσ), writing, delineation, or painting.



I love pushing the limits of relatively uncomplex consumer cameras, repurposing their pre-programmed photo modes for unintended and beautiful consequences of imagery. Here, "Starry Night" mode on the Panasonic Lumix TS-1 becomes more Mark Rothko painting than photograph as a 15-second exposure soaks in colors and attempts to white balance. See more this Friday at Roundscapes, 14th & O in the Parrish Building, where I'll be showing along with Jason Ortiz.

Freestyle 50

Check out the Freestyle 50 tonight at Screen Ink (press coverage here). After tonight's First Friday, I'm heading out on the road for 7 days of Bicycle Riding Across Nebraska. Peace, be safe, and get out and enjoy the weather.

Eagle First Friday

My last responsibility on a long day -- or really, long week -- of work was to drop off two tapes for broadcast at NET. Felice & Melissa were heading out to Eagle, and though I thought I'd just join Felice as far as Melissa's house or maybe ride with them to the MoPac trailhead, I ended up fighting the crosswind, complaining about my bag with all my work crap in it, and riding all the way to Eagle with them.


I picked up the pace on the way back, as I had First Friday obligations. We didn't make it to the galleries, but returned just in time for the very well attended Home Grown Film Festival at the newly reopened Bourbon Theater. Pictures of that to follow.

First Friday December

More wonderful work from Nolan.

Tugboat had some nice work, too.

art walk

Felice & I braved the cold to see some art Friday night. There were lovely paintings by Nolan and new work by Brent at the Turbine Flats space, 21st & Y. Once again, Nolan takes us to magical otherworlds.


Brent has been working with painted plywood etchings. I really like the silverfish (above) even though I really don't like silverfish.

This fish fish is a recreated fossil. Looks like it was fossilized at a very timely moment.
