Silent Hammering

Posted on July 15, 2015 by adminJuly 15, 2015

“Most of us have jobs that are too small for our spirits.” ― Studs Terkel I awoke early one morning while in Nepal earlier this year and wandered the streets of Patan, the seat of one of the ancient kingdoms of the Kathmandu Valley. One of my favorite things to do when I’m inspired photographically in a new place is to get up with the early light and walk in the direction of the sun and see what beauty the dawn reveals. As the rays guided me through the backroads and alleyways, I peered through an open gate and saw … Read on…

Boy and His Bicycle – Bhaktapur, Nepal

Posted on July 11, 2015 by adminJuly 11, 2015
Boy with Bicycle, Bkaktapur, Nepal

I took this portrait in early 2015 in Bhaktapur, just outside of Kathmandu, nepal. I feel very touched and also a bit sad when I see this picture. The sadness comes in part because it feels like the boy is slightly to the hardened side of innocence. We didn’t converse and I don’t remember him smiling during our interchange, but he did generously agree to pose for me. In return, I gave him the only piece of chocolate I had. In hindsight it feels like significantly insufficient compensation to pay to a person to stand in front of a stranger … Read on…

“I Heal Through Prayformance”

Posted on May 9, 2015 by adminMay 9, 2015

This portrait is one of my personal favorites. It’s of a man, a friend, named Stephan Kaufman who most people know as Thoth or half of the performing duet of Tribal Baroque. I love this particular portrait, because it shows, for me, the tenderness of the soul of this brilliant artist. As I was thinking about this image this morning, I realized that this is not a photograph of Thoth, it is a photograph of Stephan. There are thousands upon thousands of images of Thoth in this world, but this one to me incorporates a more complete reflection of the … Read on…

Youth

Posted on December 16, 2014 by adminDecember 16, 2014

In the summer of 2009, I began my first significant European adventure in London where I spent a few days with some family who were traveling there as well. On the day of my arrival we found ourselves in the back of a hackney cab heading toward the touristy but fun Tower of London. As with the big Yellow and Checker cabs of my Chicago youth, these taxis have additional small fold-down seats facing rearward. My nephew, the smallest among us sat in one of those seats and put his head out the window, a feat usually solely reserved for … Read on…

Being Seen – Construction Worker in Sri Lanka

Posted on December 7, 2014 by adminDecember 7, 2014

While traveling for a short foray in Sri Lanka in 2010, I found myself staying in a town called Kandy and while walking down a long hilly road to town each day I would exchange “hellos” and smiles with a group of men who were working preparing some land for construction. Their tasks seemed largely to include shovels, pick axes and wheel barrows – difficult back-wrenching work. After devloping some familiarity with them, one day I stopped and asked if I could take some photographs and they assented. Something I’ve noticed with people, all people really, is that there seems … Read on…
