Category Archives: United States of America

I still have much of my own home country to see, and for a country as large as the United States, that’s saying a lot! I’ve always joked that I was saving the USA for when I didn’t feel like sitting on planes for dozens of hours, but I’ve still managed to build up a decent portfolio of visual art that represents the USA. There’s something to be said for always having one’s camera with you, both on holidays as well as a few business trips along the way (before my business was my art).

The bulk of my photos and textured photo art seen here are from my home state of Georgia and travels to New York City, but if you explore, you’ll get more peeks at the USA through my eyes.

Abstract Photography - An Elevator captured in motion and repeating lines

Perhaps abstract photography is too abstract to get much notice online? It’s been a slow but beneficial journey for me, learning how important the words that accompany art are online. Our search engines are smart, but they don’t yet know with any precision what’s in a picture or whether it’s the one you’re looking for just based on your search request. Maybe you’d like to help me describing a piece of abstract photography? Background Over the course of  many months, I started working to improve the descriptions that accompany my … Continue reading →

Photo Art of a night scene from World Famous New York City

Normally a post like this would be directed to my personal blog, but you’ll see in a moment why I’m posting it here. Friday morning, I awoke to the news like we all did of the shooting at an Aurora movie theater during the midnight showing of the latest Batman film. My heart sank immediately. The word senseless would echo in my brain for quite awhile. It would reverberate more as I heard the man responsible is said to have proclaimed himself The Joker, Batman’s arch nemesis. My geeky side … Continue reading →

Serendipity in Photography – Being There Versus Going There

Picture of a church tower in Oaxaca Mexico with birds in flight

This is a topic that’s been rolling around in my head for awhile now, particularly whenever I plan a new trip (and no, nothing planned now). Each time I hatch a journey, I know there’s likely a photographer or artist who lives at my destination, knows the area well, and most importantly is there day by day. If I capture a beautiful moment in the spring, they’ll still be there in the fall long after I’ve left. This is particularly true of any large western city. Travel photography is part … Continue reading →

Wide angle picture of Atlanta's High Museum on Peachtree Street

File this post under should have announced this ages ago, but I guess better late than never right? Earlier this year, a new Jack’s New Yorker Deli opened up in the Atlanta neighborhood of Buckhead. Why would this be of interest to people reading my art blog you may be wondering? Well, that Buckhead location has decorated their restaurant with what I’m sure must be the largest collection of my Atlanta prints on public display! I kept thinking surely at some point I’d get up in that direction and see … Continue reading →

A Classic Dogtrot in Rural Alabama - Textured Picture

I’ve been back from my winter adventure for several weeks now, but rather than working on the many photos I took in Quebec and New York, I’ve been trying to wrap up last year’s project to update my galleries along with a few unplanned side projects. Rather than reporting on the progress on my gallery update, though, what I wanted to share today was a nice break from trying to pick and choose what to include in my print collections. One of my cousins recently suggested she’d like to see … Continue reading →

A Drive Down Memory Lane: The Guide to Historic Architecture and Sites in Montezuma

After deciding to leave Atlanta in mid 2009, I returned home to Montezuma, Georgia. While I wasn’t born here, I was young enough when I came here that I don’t remember any other place I’d call home. I had often taken photos here when visiting on the odd weekend, but it was the first chance I’d had since becoming enchanted by photography to really take the time to explore Montezuma with my camera. As it turned out, this time to explore had the unlikely fortune to coincide with a project … Continue reading →
