I'm Back
You don't even know what my brain has been through the past few weeks. I think I have combed over a good seventy percent of the photographs I've made over the past three years in an effort to put together another portfolio of my landscape, travel, mundane images. Daily slogs on an old computer using nothing more than the thumbnails provided by column view in the finder is not fun. My back, my eyes, my neck, my brain are all twisted. I spent an hour looking for a damn picture of a toy cable car to no avail this morning. I have no idea where that picture is. I know it's in my collection somewhere. I think I even saw it inthe past few days but for the life of me, I can't find it. Thankfully, I can retake that one.
When I tell you I have a lot of images, I mean I have boatloads. It's well over 250,000 without a stitch of exaggeration. It's a blessing and a nightmare. On the blessing side of things I have relived thousands of moments, re-seen images in a new way, and in a few cases saw pictures I hadn't seen since I chimped them on the beaches of Thailand. That's the one on the left in the diptych above.
So that's my excuse for the lack of posts the past few weeks. Over that time a few folks have written some eloquent emails and comments to my existing posts. I have been asked some cool questions that I haven't had time to answer. It was a recent question about my approach to photographing strangers that it dawned on me that I could answer those questions here in my blog. So that's what I am going to do going forward. I will try to answer questions that people have about my work provided they seem relevant for a larger audience.
I have a few in the cue but feel free to send 'em if you got 'em. I only wish I could answer then as creatively as Strong Bad.
Take pictures.

That photo makes me homesick in two different ways at once.
