Ragdale

I am back at Ragdale again for one week, which already feels way too short. As I get older, I realize I am less eager to leave home, but when I travel I always want to stay longer, to really dig in and get into the rhythms of wherever I am.

But it is always so fun to be here and I am with a really lively group of residents. My own project about the Ragdale house is interesting in that I am confined to a certain space, and even when I feel I can't get another shot in a room, I try to push further and find some small thing I have overlooked. In truth, the Ragdale house is so beautiful and full of such interesting objects that it is almost hard to find a new way to approach them. My challenge is to get the emotional feel of the house too.

Flashback

My parents had one of these when I was born. My brother and I often sat in the "well" behind the passenger seats.

I just took this yesterday with my iphone in the grocery store parking lot. Amazing car!

New Years Eve Madonna and Child

Last week of my show

It has been so amazing getting e-mails from the Loyola Museum of Art about the various places my show has cropped up - like this website, 10best in Chicago. I am # 193, but I'll take it!

Tattered Tibetan peace flags. Shot with my Holga.

Malibu again.

New Years resolutions

One of my resolutions is to post a photo a day on my blog. Guess I better get going...

The photos won't necessarily all be new ones, as I am scanning some old film at the moment and looking at that too.

This first one was taken on the beach in Malibu with my some good friends. The people in the background are looking out at the dolphins we spotted. The woman in the foreground is carrying her 3 mos. old baby.
