My lecture at the MSU Arts and Humanities Dept.

I recently was honored to participate in the Wednesday Night Live lecture series at the Residential College of the Arts and Humanities at Michigan State University.   I spoke on two topics: Living as a Creative and the Power of the Still Image. In preparing for the talk I stumbled upon the roots of my becoming a photographer.  …

The Machu Picchu that never really made it up onto Machu Picchu This.

Was digging thru the archives recently looking for landscape photography for a possible upcoming job and found lots of stuff I never really posted.  All from a couple weeks up at Machu Picchu and in Cusco, Peru.

Book of my Peru images.

I just made this epic tome of my images from Peru.  I built it as a book dummy and portfolio piece.  Its about 160 pages and is being printed on high quality, Ilford Pearl Lustre paper with archival end pages, an oatmeal colored linen cover with this cool, wrap around cover sheet.  You can view…

Coke and Babies

Indoctrination comes quick for Limeno newborns in a hospital in Lima, Peru.

Blessing of the Car ceremony in the Southern Andes.

Proud owner of a newly blessed car. In my last trip to Peru I stumbled upon a ceremony where people came to have their vehicles blessed by a priest in the parking lot of a 200 year old church.  The priest from the church was going car to car and showering cars, people, engines, tires…

More recent images from Peru.

Here is some film images from my recent three week trip to Peru.  These are all from Peru’s capital city of Lima.  Pizarro founded the city in 1535 in the valleys of three conjoined rivers, hence the overcast and smoggy air quality as the surrounding desert mountains don’t let the air circulate out to the…

New images from recent trip to Peru.

Just returned the other day from my second jaunt to the land of my girlfriend.  Spent 3 weeks, a couple in Lima then a week in the south where my moms and I tackled a day on the famed Inca Trail and then took in Machu Picchu.  Twice in 9 months..never thought that would happen..so…

Pentecostal church in Cusco, Peru

On the way back thru Cusco (the city in Southern Peru which is where u go to see Machu Picchu) from a day trip to the “Sacred Valley” and ruins around the area I noticed a run down theatre type building that was really packed at 10pm. It was part of the city I was…

Shots from the bus on way to Lake Titicaca.

Lake Titicaca, one of the worlds highest lakes (12,500ft.) sits on the border of Bolivia and Peru.  It was quite beautiful.   And the 9 hour drive on the bus from Cusco was equally as beautious….rolling hills, snow-capped peaks, villages, valleys, etc…

Centro Lima with the hulking Mamiya C330

Centro Lima is a pretty cool place as long as you can ignore the multitude of warnings almost everybody gives you about how dangerous it is.  Even people on the street stop you to tell you not to walk with a camera out.  Never had an issue in the 8 months I walked its streets. …

Cayman in the market…

This little hog-tied pre-historic reptile was in the Belen market in Iquitos.  It was nice to get with-in inches from an animal you would never really get to see let alone study but it was bitter-sweet, as it sucks seeing a beautiful animal waiting to die in such a manner.
