A young carnival barker getting ready for the day.
Porch from Elk Rapids, Mi. This home sits close to Lake Michigan. One can only wonder how good the breeze feels coming off the lake.
The Midwestern porch is a thing of beauty. Beautifully sculptured posts, railings and other decorum add to the beauty of these structures. I have decided to work on a project photographing these porches in Northern Michigan. Taking 3 cities, Traverse City, Charlevoix, and Petosky, Michigan. These three cities have a rich heritage of the most ornate porches. Many summer homes can be found in these cities dating back 125 years. Sitting on the porch, in the summertime was a relaxing way to spend an evening. The porches of these three cities capture those moments in time when you can reflect back to a far simpler era. No TV’s, the internet, or Xbox 360 games to obscure those beautiful tranquil moments.

Michael Jackson a resident of El Rito New Mexico. I saw Michael while I was filming a video for Michael David Kennedy. Michael ran a store in town, if you can call it a town. It had about 4 structures and about 15 people in the town. Michael had lived in the town most of his life. The past 22 years he had been running the general store. He was a good friend of Michael David Kennedy. He also did odd jobs around Michael’s house.

These once proud mining towns are gradually falling into decay. They are located along HWY 77 running north from Tucson. Many years ago I decided to photograph the decay in these towns. However, I could never get my head around how to do the project. That finally has happened. Gradually, as the project develops I will have a page on my web site.

Boys will be boys. Not sure what’s in the container, I thought it was a good shot of the unexpected on Paris streets.

I had spotted this image sometime ago, but failed to do anything with it. It didn’t quite fit another street shots. But it does ask a question, what was this guy looking at. I didn’t see any construction, so what was it. The shot is sort of mysterious.

While visiting the Mercado in Tucson I saw this boy extending his hand for assistance. I immediately thought of how many times, children have used the same gesture.
