February seems so long ago now-

This state of suspended animation drags on-

Time has lost recognizable meaning-

We should not have bought that 2020 wall calendar-

Stay vigilant- stay safe- stay with it.

Spending some time during this shut-in period going through the photo archives. We assembled this gallery of street shooting because the images contain something we are not seeing enough of at the present time: people. People coming, going, talking together, hugging, kissing, or just taking a walk. No face masks or latex gloves, no social distancing. Guarded and unguarded moments in the day to day of life.

These photographs were shot in Lisbon and Porto, Portugal.

Have a look…

A visual metaphor of the here and now.

We will prevail- we will get through this.

We must.

… that I would again be driving across the country, alone this time, during a pandemic, after taking care of family business for the last month in North Carolina, I would have asked what kind of cracked fortune teller are you?

Yet here I am, behind the wheel, punching out the miles and heading home.

Play it safe, shelter in place, and wash your hands.

We’ve been cast in a tragic-comedy that we don’t recall auditioning for…⁣

Stay safe- stay back- stay bouncy. This too shall pass.

Oh- and wash your hands.

Looking South along Belardo Rd. from the 4 Saints Restaurant atop the Rowan Hotel, downtown Palm Springs, CA. The San Jacinto Mountains are to the right, the Santa Rosa to the left, forming the place named Indian Canyons.

A place we call home.

In the early aughts we wanted to explore the idea of the narrative in portraiture: an examination of couples and the dynamic that exists between them. Portraying both solitude and intimacy- these photos are a moment in time whose narrative meaning perhaps remains a mystery.

Shot with the Hasselblad 501CM on Fuji E6 Transparency film.

Winter in the desert: snow capping the San Jacinto Mountains, sunshine, palm trees…

Happy to call this magical place home.

In the desert you have got to stay hydrated and shoot for Palm Springs Life Magazine.

Last nights connecting flight to Palm Springs CA (PSP) was missed on account of our delayed earlier flight out of the Southeast (ATL) and then the weather in Denver (DEN). A mad sprint from one end of the Denver concourse to the other was a failure. We were slush-shuttled to the Crowne Plaza Denver Convention Ctr.  Dinner- drinks- and overnight with an early call and an 9:30am departure.

The above shot is what we found waiting for us at the airport in the morning. Touch and go till we got off the ground.

Did we mention the flight change and concourse dash in Phoenix (PHX)? No?

Air travel: what’s love got to do with it?

Well the wedding was beautiful so there’s that!

The end of a long, beautiful day of food, friends new and old, dolphins, seals, and finally sunset. Cheers and birthday huzzahs to Carol C.

Well we are here to report it’s true.

We are shooting food and drinks (and the occasional waiter/bartender) for Palm Springs Life magazine.

And we couldn’t be happier.
