for one of the most amazing persons i know. caballo de sonya is 20" X 24," NOT one of the intentionally square-shaped images and exactly as it says.

spring mandala still life number 22 (v2.1, demo)

ok, so part of the title is inspired by the song by the brothers johnson, "strawberry letter 22." the images however have very little to do with the song. the core mandala is in fact the 22nd mandala i have recently made; it finds itself amidst and among and underneath and what-not with a photograph of a chinese scroll that hangs in my front hallway as well as a simple photograph of mine of an old and very cool candle holder (the sun). spring mandala still life number 22 is 24" X 24" and a version of this image is being donated to the art span benefit which is coming here soon. this is, by the way, th last intentional square image. or so i think...

flower study

a friend gave me this very weird flower/weed which i then began photographing, layering, etc. and from that emerged this image. flower study is 1' X 1' and one version of this image is dedicated to my friend bob in seattle.

my friend emily. she is a great ballerina. for emily, indeed is another in the square series, although as you can see i have added a bit to this one so as to alter the geometric shape from square to rectangle (so that i could print out a smaller version to review it, etc.). the image is 18" X 18" and honestly is dedicated to em.

homage to matthew brady

recently there have been a number of new images, all of them square (as in geometric shape...). the first of these really is gambling w/ our lives he said. this image is another of such images with a few more following.

matthew brady was the brilliant photographer during the american civil war. this image is in honor of his work, and homage to matthew brady is based on his haunting photograph of the rocking chair lincoln was sitting in the night he was killed by john wilkes booth. it is 2' X 2'.
