Performances at the Biggs
An exhibit like no other! Those are the words I like to use to describe the Brandywine Photo Collective “Performances” exhibit at the Biggs Museum of American Art, February 2 thru April 22, 2018. Nine groups of photos are on display. In each group, you see the photo as interpreted by the artist who took […]

Panorama Photos
Every day the News Journal publishes a panorama photo at the top of Page 3. I occasionally submit, and they occasionally publish my images.

Fire Hydrant Spray People
Every year, the Arden Community Recreation Association hosts its July 4th Games on the green in Arden, Delaware. The event ends with people cavorting in spray shot from a fire hydrant. I love how the people look when photographed. They are often just silhouettes, and there is a pointillist feel to the images. The scene […]
