Good light has been in short supply while I’ve been in England. Most days the skies are a blank gray canvas covering the city. But. . .when the light is good, it’s very good.

London’s Hyde Park reminds me of New York’s Central Park: large, central, well used by the community, lots of public events, room to stroll and to touch some grass. I wandered and photographed during a beautiful afternoon there, the first that was warm enough that I didn’t need a cap. I’d spent a little time in Hyde Park last year…
All the major museums here in London are free to the public (except for special exhibitions, in particular wings, which cost). It’s marvelous to be able to wander in and out, and back in again, museum to museum. So far, my favorite has been the National Portrait Gallery. But we had a lot of fun in the Victoria and Albert…
I received notice yesterday from PhotoLucida’s Critical Mass Competition that I was selected in their top 50 list. The news isn’t up on the PhotoLucida website yet, but one of the reviewers, Lisa Hunter–quite enthusiastically–posted the results on her blog. In time, PhotoLucida will put the work of the top 50 on their website for all to see. Critical Mass…
More street shooting, from Trafalgar Square. (I think that any time you can include ‘Trafalgar Square’ in a sentence, the better off you will be in life. It’s so…classy.) I’ve been making a lot of new friends this week while I work. This is one of the more joyful photos I’ve taken. This gentleman is from India (having immigrated 20…
Well, finally, I have something to show you. Shannon and I went into the city on Monday, and I must say: the people watching in London is out of this world. Wow. I didn’t have my camera, and it was killing me. So today, on my own, I went in, visited the British Portrait Gallery, the Photographer’s Gallery (both excellent…
After a week of walking and watching in Yorkshire, we are now settled in at Manna House, a hospitality house of OM, in London. Here we will be hosting people from all over the world, as they come to attend conferences, stay over between flights, and have some R&R in London. Already we’ve met people from Germany, the Philippines, a…
We’ve been in England for a week, off on our little adventure in Europe. I’ve been photographing quite a bit, but mostly for stock, and one event, but little of personal, artistic interest. But I’ll share a couple photos here: We spent all afternoon yesterday hiking through the sheep pastures here in the Yorkshire Dales. We’ve wanted to do this…

My friend Gali, a student at Lincoln High School, is in charge of the National Eating Disorder Awareness Week events at her school. She’s so full of energy and organization and ideas, she’s hard to keep up with. As part of her and her committee’s program this week, they asked me to display 8 images from my series Skeleton in…
I’ve worked today at updating portions of my website with newer imagery. I’m especially pleased with a new little slideshow highlighting some of my commercial photography. I’m never sure what category to put my work in; the labels are not terribly clear to me. Do I call it Editorial Photography? Magazine work? Documentary? Travel Photographer? Commercial? Lifestyle Photographs? Whatever they…
More often than not, when I take a photograph, I have a pretty good idea of what I want the final product to look like. But sometimes, it’s fun to fiddle around in Lightroom and Photoshop, and see what I can come up with. Some images are like blank canvases, and I can usually find a look that seems appropriate…
