INTRO

INTRODUCTION:  Hello!  My photographic journey into the American Southwest started about four decades ago, at 26, in the summer of 1968.  I made four round trips by BMW motorcycle and Volvo station wagon across the American continent in successive summers.  I was working in radio news/journalism, and teaching at the time.  I  shot black and white images.  Some prints I processed myself, and other work was done at labs.  I was mostly self-taught in photography, like a musician, painter, or poet, who lacks formal training, but plays, paints, and writes well by ear, eye, and mysterious intuition.  Forty years later I have slowed down some and do mostly color photo art.   In the summer of 2008,  a new web site art gallery of my color photo art will be under construction.  I am thankful, looking back on my life, that I was fortunate to explore the American Southwest, and create visual images to share with folks everywhere who can appreciate them.
