This is just a teaser. More soon.


A big thank you & shout out to my friends from Stormvogel!

This was the 9th time I’ve visited Norway in the last five years! My dear friend PÃ¥l Otnes and I had a great time teaching a sold out workshop at StudioTechnika / Farvelabben in Oslo – to an exceptionally talented and nice group.

Afterwards, PÃ¥l and I took a road trip to shoot a couple of abandoned industrial sites for our upcoming “Vestiges of Industry” exhibition at Fotografiens Hus in May 2009. I’m looking forward to posting more pictures, from both the workshop and the road trip, very soon.

I must confess, leading workshops may be the best excuse in the world to travel, make new photographs – and new friends. I am so grateful to realize how many incredible people come to mind as I think about the past few months. Thank you all for your generosity – and thank you ICP & MMW.

The two classes I taught in June at the Maine Media Workshops were a delight, and Eleanor and Herbert Peters at the Thomaston Café very kindly extended the June exhibition of my landscape photographs an extra month, into August. Thank you to everyone who made it (and almost made it) to the opening in June!

New York in summer is also pretty great. The workshops at ICP were filled with amazing people! Returning to Maine to teach a third workshop in September was absolutely icing on the cake. Happy Solstice everyone!

For your viewing pleasure the “Recent Work” section now features photos from Norway, including the debut of a couple of never-before-seen landscape images.

(The images which were previously in this section have been relocated to other galleries on the site, primarily “Earth and Sky.”)

I’m pleased to finally post new images in the “Vestiges of Industry” gallery, for your viewing pleasure. I’ve been working on this ongoing series for the last few years, often shooting work during or after workshops – in Oregon, Norway, and even right here at home in Brooklyn (thanks Leo & Phil, PÃ¥l, and Adam, respectively!). It’s interesting that quite a few of these were shot – literally – in the dark. Too dark to focus without a flashlight. 5 minute exposures at f16 kind of dark…

Who says you need “golden light?” Know of any wonderful old factories?
