Another Christmas light image

Using LED lights, they blink at an imperceptible 60 hertz that is easily seen in a long exposure.

Some New Images after the show

David and Rena' images got me thinking of "street photography" again.

And the recent acquisition of a pocket camera(Canon SD1000) led me to make this image of the bitter end of the street at the Redondo Pier in Redondo Beach California:

New work post show...

The show opened on time but had a reduced attendance due to a rain "storm".
(in the L.A. basin, a half inch qualifies as a storm after 18 months of drought)

Here is an image I made that same opening night:

"Impact Zone" Dec. 2007

and with the Christmas Season on the way, there have been a few new Light images to capture:

Artist Statement
The light and the dark, the good and the evil,
triumph and tragedy.

These two opposing elements are not always in equal measure or
immediately apparent to the viewer.
However, the tension created by the two factors creates
a contrast and enhances the beauty of the work.

This photo series is an expression with household
flashlights that represents the two opposing
elements in all of us.

Photography has always piqued my interest as
a child growing up in a small town in South East
New Mexico. One of my brothers took up
photography as a hobby and sparked the fire
that would become my life long love with the art
of photography.

The first camera I owned, at the age of 10, was a Polaroid,
and whereever I went the camera was always nearby.
I have always thrived to see thee most common object
in a different way.
Every day I am absorbed in my photographic work.

Artist Statement

My approach is to encapsulate a moment, which impacts feelings of realism, stirs feelings and gives an everlasting impression of the colors and tones of the moment.

Artist Statement

These photos are a sampling of my present direction in photography. They also have an underlying connection that is an important part of my inner experience when composing and capturing images.
For each, I saw the image with my eyes and/or my mind, captured the image with my camera and the resultwas what I saw. Just a moment when everything falls into place.
I am naturally drawn to photographing images of nature and people, also images with an underlying feeling of quietness.
