2020: On island, touring my book, it was going well. The book is a hit. Then crazy people said close local stores and line up at Wal Mart. Sadly the book tour came to a sudden abrupt end, and the islands closed. Good news is price is reduced now, so you can have copies at a better price.
2019 I completed a large project with marine biologists, turning their old film from past decades, into beautiful prints and a modern art show. I have much expertise in this area. You'll be impressed. Please contact. 30 year old dusty 35mm cleaned up and printed below.
Summer: The outdoors, and the beach. Private / small group tutorials, workshops offered, including guided hiking, and surfing. I'm highly skilled with decades of experience, from mountains and beaches worldwide. This is about doing enriching experiences with great people.
I can turn your old film into serious art. Working on a marine biologists Farralone Islands images from the 90's. Let's do some great work!

December:
It was a grand summer of adventure! The mountains and ocean called. Many great images are in store. Please ask.
" Wander here all summer, if you can. Thousands of God's wild blessings will search you and soak you as if you were a sponge, and the big days will go by uncounted. If you are a business-tangled, and so burdened by duty that only weeks can be got out of the heavy laden year ... give a month at least to this precious reserve. The time will not be taken from the sum of your life. Instead of shortening, it will indefinitely lengthen it and make you truly immortal. " - John Muir -
My house art show went great. It's nice getting out of that booth on the street! Gallery setting. More big art. Slide shows on the big screen. Hope to see you at the next one! Nice black and white display here.
Film is a wonderful depature when you're on the computer all time, for everything. It's hands on, handwriting, paper and pens, tape, scissors, knives, standing and walking vs. sitting, more touch feel and three dimensional. No keyboard, no mouse, no electronics, no beeping noises, and no commercials! A more handcrafted lower tech experience, which is nice, and all that process grows the artwork. It's the soil the art comes from. All that tactile difference comes into the artistic flow, inspiring new creative realms and ideas and gives it all a different look, style, and flavor, which is important. The whole process grows the finished pieces. Digital has somewhat made everything come out of the same can, which is good to break away from.
This setup will take your mind to different realms . It's great to get off the screen, and out of the chair!
