Holy cow. A thread with my name on it.
I don't want the thread to leave people with the
wrong idea of my decision to keep a lower profile
here and elsewhere on the web. I found that I was
spending too much time in web forums, that I should
have been devoting to photography, writing, and family.
I've found, here and elsewhere, that my photography
sometimes provokes angry responses. That's not a bad
thing, in itself -- it is meant to provoke in some measure.
Samuel Johnson once wrote that he "would rather be
attacked than unnoticed. For the worst thing you can do
to an author is to be silent as to his works." I stopped
posting my portrait series in online forums not so much
because of the animosity they sometimes stirred, but
because the medium disconnects the individual portraits
from their context as a series. If anyone wants to see
them, I use flickr as a kind of weblog of what I am
shooting, and you can find me there at

The SHIRT!
It is from a site devoted to analog photography, that
ran a short feature on my portrait series:

Click on the "Store" link and you will find all kinds of
shirts and other stuff for purchase with the site's

Thanks, all, for thinking of me.
