Such beautiful leaves on the ground! The clouds parted briefly yesterday afternoon while I was walking my dog and this colorful patch was illuminated. I was happy to have this man wander into my photo…
I collected a few for a series of photo blocks. Here’s one I made this morning from a very fragile Alder leaf. This leaf was just a skeleton – I didn’t dare put it in my pocket with the others!

I’m happy to have my photograph, The Thweet Family, included in an interesting show at New Orleans’ Darkroom Gallery called Paraphrase. All of the photographs in the show mimic or allude to famous photographs; Hugh Brown’s photograph (above), Child with Toy Chainsaw in Griffith Park, based on the Diane Arbus image is a great example. My photograph (below) paraphrases this wonderful 1953 photograph by Paul Strand called The Family. Listen to the juror’s statement here. Sure wish I were closer to New Orleans and could make it to the show!

For my birthday, we explored farther south on the coast of Oregon. We stayed on the beach in a small town called Bandon. With summer over, it was very quiet there. I kept imagining an A in front of Bandon. Fall seemed to arrive just as we did, with chilly air and strong winds. Really strong winds! We stepped onto the beach and into a sand storm. I had a good time trying to get photos of the sand swirling off the dunes and streaking down the beach. I didn’t do a very good job – these photos make it appear much calmer than it was! But look close and you’ll find some ghostly streaks in a few…



Look at the sand go!!
