Ship Shape

I love antique boats. Sometimes you need to look close to appreciate the effort put into these wooden beauties. In this shot, Old Glory is reflected in some very fine wood and chrome work on an old Chris Craft.

Winter Path

Nothing exotic about the location of this shot. Just our driveway in Michigan on a cold, clear, early December morning. I had this walk every morning in order to retrieve the newspaper, and I took my camera on this trip just because of the season's first snow.

Something in the Mirror

This is a scan of one of my old Kodachrome slides. What I recall about the shot is looking through the viewfinder at the beautiful, late evening sky reflected in this absolutely flat, mirrored water. The problem was that there was nothing to give it any depth at all beyond the bushes on shore. That is until I got the idea to toss a pebble into the water. Suddenly, something totally featureless and indistinguishable was "there".
