- Bryce Trail Colors
TL-120 • Provia 100F • f/22 • shutter speed unrecorded
This is an image that was destined for the wastebasket. Most of the image area was boring, showing loose slides of gravel, and the corner of a metal fence I hadn’t noticed. But when I stuck it in a pano mount — magic! I love the subtle colors — it reminds me of an old theatre set. To me it’s alchemy, when you’re able to take something that’s not working and spin it into something beautiful. I like this slide a lot, but maybe that’s because I rescued it - Stud Horse Point #4
Twin Hasselblad 500Cs • 50mm lenses • Provia 100F • f/22 • shutter speed unrecorded
In October 2008 I took a vacation in the Southwest US. Mandy (my wife) had less time available, so I drove down a week early to Page, Arizona, and spent some time with photographer/guide Jackson Bridges. This is one of the spots we visited. By the time Mandy flew down to meet me, she’d been spared a long drive, and I had an extra week of photography. - Blown Glass Cyclone #1
TL-120 • Provia 100F • f22 • 8 seconds
One of my favorite subjects is carnival rides at night. This was shot at the Evergreen Fair in Monroe, Washington, August 2009. - Waveswinger & Coaster
Twin Hasselblad 500Cs • 50mm lenses • Provia 100F • f22 • shutter speed unrecorded
Shot at the Puyallup (pyoo • AL • ip) Fair, September 2008. Cameras were probably butted together as close as possible, meaning about 4.25” separation between lens centers.

Re-seeding Images
My contributions for re-seeding our folio are all from the Mendenhall Glacier area of Juneau. These are near-duplicates of some work I offered in FolioA-Loop 23 (Raining Under Ice, Path To The Underworld, and others). As the folio-box fills and we need the space, I’ll have these images pulled and returned to me to make room for others’ work.
- Pulled Out TL120-55, tripod, Provia
Two kayaks are pulled out of the Mendenhall Lake on a scrap of gravel which, two years ago, didn’t exist. As the glacier melts, the rock face on which I’m standing was been exposed to the light of day and the creek (in the foreground) which used to tunnel under the ice falls freely into the lake. I walked in over the peninsula behind me. These two folks were able to take the easier route and paddle around. - Freshly Exposed Rock TL120-1, tripod, Kodak EG
As that ice melts, new rock appears. This is rock which has never before been exposed to the light of day. The bit of ice on the right is actually the edge of the glacier. Two weeks ago, the rock in front of my camera would have been under the edge of the ice. It has been ground and polished by the weight of the ice being pressed up it. When I walk the peninsula, I have the opportunity to be the first to tread on a patch of ground. - On The Edge TL120-1, tripod, Provia
This is a bit farther down the rock face. In another week (or maybe two), this face will be free from the press of ice and out in the light. If you were to crawl and down, you would probably reach the lake. I, however, feel too mortal to attempt the journey. - Under The Blue Dome TL120-55, tripod, Provia
This is rock which has not yet been exposed to the light of day. It has spent centuries under the ice and will likely be exposed next year. Until then, it is lit only by the filtered blue light that makes it through the ice. Photographing here is a bit of a challenge. The light is dim, it is always raining melt water, and the roof is going to collapse; it’s just a question of when.
