last look

Here’s a mash up of collage and monotype printing, with a couple of images mined from the pages of an old Vogue magazine. A weird spot on the gel plate makes it look like she’s got an additional nostril, but at least her eyebrow game is strong.

bad-ending vacations

Moving on…but still not going back to straight photography quite yet.

I saw these two banged-up travel trailers behind an out-of-business motel in Mason, Texas, a few months ago. As a photo, they looked like this:

Photo transfers give an entirely new feeling to the scene.

city holidays

This wall looks like it’s made of damp cardboard. Or a bunch of OSB panels.

never saw saturday

This summer’s weather has bounced all over the place – we’ve had cool days, days that were pushing 110°, days where it felt like it had never in all of history rained, days when it rained as though it would never stop. There doesn’t feel like there’s a middle anywhere in the mix.

When it’s hot, my brain thinks colors have faded so it was pretty insistent about the final look of this image since the garden tour landed on a very hot day.

neighborhood history

Oh, this? Just a run-down laundry (that seems to have run so far down that it is out of business) in an even more run-down neighborhood.

It feels like maybe at one point the plan was to repaint the whole sign, but the project was abandoned only two letters in.
