About a year and a half ago, we bought a Washington Orange potted tree (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) to add to our indoor container garden. (In its pot, it’s now about 5-feet tall.) Once we got it home, it went through several blooming cycles, although the the fruits never grew more than a centimeter or so before falling off. Then, there was one, one orange that was hanging on… I posted this image on Instagram the day after the 2016 election and the orange was suddenly embued

This was my third time on horseback. The first two were little 20-minutes jaunts outside Parque Arvi. For this ride, Juan & I (and excellent guide, Carlos) rode for 2-hours through back paths and roads and along the flood plane of and through Río Tonusco in Santa Fe de Antioquia. With my bulky (and outdated) Canon 50D strapped around my neck and shoulder, we set off. Lessons: Need a smaller and more versatile camera for field work Manual settings are nearly impossible to adju

We traveled to the Colombian coast last week — the second year of a new tradition of traveling for the holidays. Here are some highlights… First stop: Caratagena de Indias Equatorial sunset Links to information on some of the sites above: Muelle de los Pegasos: https://www.lonelyplanet.com/colombia/cartagena/attractions/muelle-de-los-pegasos/a/poi-sig/454787/363310 Castillo San Felipe de Barajas — a remarkable structure.

Here are images from our friend’s country house/farm/finca about an hour and a half south-west of Medellín in a place called Nicanor. To get there you have to take what first appears to be an unpaved mountain road. You soon realized, however, that it is actually an old railroad bed that crawls along the edge of the mountain. Past the finca, you come to a couple of old buildings, which serve as the bus station now, but were previously the railroad station. (Incidentally, we ha

On Sunday, the 4th of September, my friend Luz & I returned to a homestead about an hour and a half outside Medellín in a town called El Carmen de Viboral, although we saw no sign of a town where we were. Screenshot from Lightroom Map module, which locates the sites of certain photographs. The Temazcal ceremony took place somewhere under that red star. Luz had been there before for a workshop on home-building, using clay harvested from the land, mixed with manure and grass. T

I have been keeping an  eye on the progress of rebuilding Ground-Zero, so-called, for some time. Having been in NYC on that fateful day more than 14-years ago and having been witness to the events of that day — both with my own eyes and through the lens of news coverage, I have been waiting, patiently, anxiously for that wound to be sewn up. Since construction began on Santiago Calatrava’s transportation hub, I made a point of checking in whenever I was downtown. When it open

I assembled a  photo/video essay documenting moments from my journey from Medellín, Colombia to New York, where I will be for 6-weeks, including images from my first few days back in NY.

We arrived in Bogotá on the 22nd of December and managed to get all of our chores (getting my visa and going to the American Embassy to get a document notarized) done on the first day of our visit. This meant we had three days dedicated to exploring the city. Of course, for a city of this size (around 7-8 million people and 613 square miles) that not nearly enough time, but we managed to scratch the surface while leaving more to see on our next visit. #Christmas2015 #photogra

For the past decade or more, I have been connected to one institution or another that provided access to tools, equipment, and software that I used for the production of my work. Now, as an independent artist, I am looking for new resources and means of production. I have yet to establish a dedicated studio since moving to Colombia, but I hope to do so within the next 6-months or so. In the meantime, I will work where I can. One of the most significant changes is the technolo
