This magnificent animal and a couple of his friends were nice enough to soar at the end of my lens above highway 55 near Ferncroft Friday afternoon. The combination of grace and power is inspiring.
Wonder what this image would look like on copper?

Found the geometry of this one fascinating. Found it sitting on a bar stool.

Are you going to miss the Statesman? Me, not so much.
It is so small, it barely wraps a fish.

Happy 1st day of spring.
This is an abandoned piece of farm equipment. Have no idea what it does, just liked the colors and the way the paint is peeling.

Yes, he is in the news again. Don’t really want to know!

The Gallery at Hyde Park is presenting my “Metal Series” The show only runs through the end of the month. This is the last time that this set of images will be displayed together.
Photography is a quest, an adventure. With a camera or two and a bouncy yellow lab, I search to find what the world wants me to show you.
An aging black staircase slashing down the back of a red urban landscape, the wide vista of a frigid winter morning. Red rust against the chrome of an old gas pump, maybe a single flower glowing in a desert sunset?
I am never quite sure. Over the next hill or around the corner, I seek to show you the world in a way that will make you feel better connected.
Powerful images are everywhere and I love the journey to find them.
As a photographer I have always been fascinated with pushing the limits of presenting work.
The Metal Series comes from the simple idea. “Wonder if I can print on Metal?”
It took months and a lot of weird chemicals, sand papers, and determination but the answer is yes!
You might just be amazed at the images.
Also at the Gallery this month are the wonderful images from Keith Walklet. Keith’s work is nothing short of stunning. Sometime I think Ansel Adams himself haunts Keith’s camera.

This location has seen a whole group of bars and restaurants come and go. Including the very fun and very missed City Grill. Gotta wish the new group luck. Personally I think the corner is jinxed.

No that is not an oxymoron.
This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever.

Fun by the bucket this week, and I for one need it.
On Wednesday. . .
John Németh burst upon the scene with his dazzling national debut album, Magic Touch, released by Blind Pig Records in 2007. Critics and audiences alike were knocked out by his riveting vocals and harmonica prowess, and the 31-year-old’s uncanny ability to skillfully blend retro and modern blues and soul into compelling music that is simultaneously old and new.

Interested mimes should reply to this ad. Oh, and please, no wanna be mimes, you need to have your own mime outfit and face paint.
An entire mime troop would be awesome, especially if one’s a midget.

What a great idea. Good Job.
Blues Jam/Jazz Jam
We are inviting Treasure Valley teenagers to join with other young musicians to try out their talents and learn to play together at a blues jam/jazz jam. The jam will be supervised by adult volunteers and lead by experienced teenage musicians. Everyone will have a chance to play; first come/first served.
The first jam will be Sunday, March 15th from 4 to 7 pm at the Sockeye Grill on Cole Road. We expect this to be a weekly event, although the next event is scheduled for March 29th to accommodate Spring Break.
We are advertising through local schools, BSU, notices to private music teachers, and by listing the event in the Boise Weekly and the Idaho Statesman. Posters are attached. Please print them out and post them if you’d like to help publicize this event.
Rich O’Hara and Marty Guerra orchestrated this event. Rich is the father of Patrick O’Hara, a junior at Timberline who plays guitar and harmonic. Marty has two young sons and several private students who play drums.
The Sockeye Grill was selected because it offers all-ages access, food and beverage service, a room capable of accommodating 50 – 100 people, a central Boise location, and a stage. Marty and Rich will provide band equipment. Musicians need only bring their instruments.
If you have any other questions, please call:
