Redlands, between Orange and Fifth, Citrus and State Streets






More with the point and shoot; think of them as photographic sketches.

Click on them, though, and you'll notice it is possible to get decent detail with a P&S: the peeling paint on the counterweight in the B&W shot, the grain in the plywood of the shed, the texture of the cement in the F.W. Woolworth sign. And I downsized them for the web!

Myrtle leaves




I've been mourning my former residence. The grapefruit are in the back yard where I live now (taken with Canon SD780 IS P&S); I took the picture of myrtle leaves last year in the front yard where I lived (shot with Canon Rebel XSi with a 17-40 f/4 L lens at 27mm).

Have dripping clouds always been around...

This is from Palm Desert, direct from the camera except for a small amount of increased contrast.

A few photos from 1979-83

I found these images when I was going through some boxes.
They were taken between 25 and 30 years ago with a Konica T4 35mm SLR. I sent them this past week via mail to NCPS and had them scanned.

The little girl stood in a fountain in downtown Detroit in 1983.



I shot the image of the cabin at dawn on the tail end of a non-stop drive from Chicago to Worcester, MA, 1980.




The Grand Canyon in mid 1980.





The "open" sign comes from Ogunquit ME 1979.




I have been obsessed with trees since at least this shot from Ogunquit in 1979.










This is my sister in a sandstone formation in Arizona, 1979.

Trompe l'oeil


Can you tell which part of this photo is a painting and which is real?


A local dentist won a contest to paint a mural on the wall of a downtown Redlands building. Murals are one of the things that make the State Street area so visually interesting.
