multiframe no. 15


This is how no. 14 was supposed to turn out, but with an additional row at the bottom. Actually, I may have shot a row, but didnt use it. I'm not sure, it was a long time ago (the little boy, barely noticable in the lower left panel, is now 23 years old, if that tells you anything).

multi-frame no. 14


New work, shot with the new Canon. No, in case you're wondering, it isnt cross-shaped for Easter. It was supposed to be a nine-panel image, but the corner panels didnt fit right at all, so I dumped them. I refuse, however, to not post this on Good Friday because it's cross-shaped. New work is new work, and I finished this on Thursday.

the Stratford Hand

the stratford hand
This isnt my work. I'd love to be able to work in metal, but I cant. This is the work of a welder in Stratford, Oklahoma, a rather battered country town on Highway 177. It's not much of a place, but every June and July the peach crop comes in and then driving thru town is a little slice of heaven. I love peaches, but since California peaches suck, I rarely get any. I'm sure they're delicious enough in California, but you cant beat fresh peaches picked ripe, rather than pre-ripe enough to survive shipping to the ends of the earth.

people no. 12


I shot this by walking up to the other two people in the frame, starting the self-timer, and setting the camera on the floor lens up. Curious, they looked down at the camera just as the shutter clicked. One of the people in the image, my painting professor, was very uncooperative when shooting. I win!

new toy


I just purchased a new Digital camera: a Canon Rebel XT. I'm very excited about it. This is the "first" real shot from the camera (after a few test shots). No, it's not much, but I was only standing on my back porch. Ironically, I've also been using my old camera (a rather nice, but slow, Sharp) more since the new one came in.

Next scheduled new toy: a scanner that does film.
