Looks like a crime scene to me.

I began posting a series under this title several weeks ago on my Facebook page.  I will repost the earlier entries later this week.

I took this photograph in the woods behind a public housing project that was in the process of being demolished.  Apparently, whoever was trying to steal this fridge gave up.    I think that this would be a wonderful opening scene for a movie.

Chill, Bremerton, Washington.
I like the force/power/impact that a displaced object can have on a viewer.  Duchamp and Oldenburg rely on it in their respective works.

What's for dinner?

Over the next year, I will be collaborating with Brendan McGill, chef at the highly acclaimed Hitchcock Restaurant & Deli, to bring you photographs of the regional farmers, ranchers, and purveyors that he relies on to bring his menu to life. McGill is one of the new generation of American chefs who have taken upon themselves to challenge the depersonalized factory farming that dominates dinner tables throughout America.

Hitchcock and Hitchcock Deli are located on Bainbridge Island, a short ferry ride away from Seattle. The lovely (and local) beast featured here is a Highland cattle, a breed developed in Scotland and now dispersed throughout the world.

A rotating exhibition of images will be on view at Hitchcock Deli, beginning in mid-February.   Currently, photographs of the woods, forests, and streams of Bainbridge Island are on display.

A new direction.

With this posting, I am taking the blog in a new direction.   When I started this blog several years ago, my father suggested I write a little something about my photographs.  He wanted more of a story than just the image and a title.

Like many things my father has suggested, it has taken me a couple of years to see the wisdom in what he was saying.  One of the goals of my photography is to invite the viewer to see the world in a different way.  Writing about my work is a part of that process.

When my wife gave me a digital camera in the fall of 2008, I had no idea how much it would change the direction of my life.  Today, I find myself preparing to venture out into the larger world of photography.  I am nervous and excited and I look forward to sharing the adventure with you.

Cheers.
