Alstroemerias: Studies in Quiet Structure

The 4th image in the series, Becoming, not Blooming, is now online. This series of photographs explores alstroemerias as structures, quiet arrangements of line, repetition, and restraint. Paired with short personal reflections, each image becomes a study in attention: how form reveals itself slowly, how space shapes perception, and how meaning emerges through sustained looking rather than explanation.
Before the Crowd Arrives
Art that tells stories fine art photography memory and mystery photographic narrative photography as expression
During Monterey Car Week, I revisit three fine art photographs of vintage automobiles made in Pebble Beach in 2008 and 2009, when I had the rare opportunity to encounter the cars before the crowds arrived. What began as an encounter with automotive history becomes a meditation on memory, desire, beauty and time. The 1928 Mercedes-Benz S Tourer, 1938 Buick Century Coupe and 1955 Jaguar Roadster become symbolic characters in a story about the way objects survive while the lives surrounding them disappear.
Stars, Silence, and Summer Light

A reflective Memorial Day essay inspired by a cinematic photograph of a solitary figure in patriotic attire seated in a vintage automobile. Blending humor, nostalgia, and quiet reverence, the piece explores memory, sacrifice, chosen identity, and the idea of America as an unfinished journey rather than a fixed destination.
