Oakland Cemetery
I had one more roll of film to develop from my trip to Atlanta, Georgia and only recently got around to developing it.
This image from the Oakland Cemetery was shot with my ever faithful Debonair toy camera, which my good friend Isabel Gomes of Isabel Lawrence Photography originally told me about. This camera is NOT easy to find.

Silver Lake Farms
The wonderful and talented Tara Kolla runs Silver Lake Farms behind her home and I once again had the privilege of shooting her amazing gardens. As you know shooting flowers is something that I love doing. Thank you Tara.

As I was scanning the negatives from my recent trip to Austin, Texas I was reminded why I love what I do so much.
My friend Suzi Q. Varin and I went on a photo adventure to small towns outside Austin looking for abandoned houses and old cemeteries. Not only did we succeed the day of our adventure but the images I just scanned prove the true success of that trip.
Stay tuned for more………….

Letters of Friendship
Can you tell I was busy today writing notes to friends………….
From Hill’s Manual of Social Business Forms chapter on “Letters of Friendship and Relationship” (printed in 1883)
Do not fail to write very promptly to the one that is away. Give all the news. Go into all the little particulars, just as you would. After you have written up matters of general moment, come down to little personal gossip that is of particular interest. Give the details fully about Sallie Williams marrying John Hunt, and her parents being opposed to the match. Be explicit about the new minister, how many sociables you have a month, and the general condition of affairs among your intimate acquaintances.
I just love finding this kind of stuff……………
I have much more to share from the this great old book I recently purchased……………
I am proud to be a part of the Redefining Hollywood exhibition at the Factory Gallery in downtown Los Angeles.
Produced by Fabrik Magazine and curated by Aline Smithson, J. Wesley Brown and myself, this is an exhibition that looks at Hollywood with an analytical and an amused eye. The idea of Hollywood has intrigued and inspired image-makers for the last century and it’s no different today. Photographers find themselves continually fascinated by not only the notion of Hollywood, but by the city and community of Hollywood. For some, it’s the feeling of noir and night, for others, it’s the reality of the streets and neighborhoods. Photographers are influenced by movie stars and the idea of celebrity, and by the movies themselves. There is a rich tapestry of photographic ideas and inspiration that emerge from the tangible and intangible idea of Hollywood, and with each unique photographic vision, these photographers are Redefining Hollywood.
I have three prints in the exhibit:
Griffith to Hollywood
Once Ince
Hollywood as a Mystery

I can’t tell you how thrilled I was when Astor Morgan, curator of I Spy with my Plastic Eye, chose my Six Flags Diana image for the cover of the accompanying book.
I had another Holga image (shot with a Holgaroid camera and Polaroid film) in the show as well “No Photoshop Used on Image.”
