I’ve always been a sucker for a nice tail fin!  I figured I’d finish off my series from Chester’s Garage by highlighting some of his restoration work.  This is the same ’57 Fairlane featured in Bill’s portrait from yesterday and, as you can see from the interior and exterior shots, the restoration details are immaculate […]

I was wordy yesterday so I’ll keep it brief today.  Here’s (probably) the last shot I’ll post of Bill; I may put up a few more from his garage but I’m not sure yet.  This one features Bill in a restored 1957 (?) Ford Fairlane.  I’m grateful to have met Bill and to have been invited along […]

This is one of my favorite shots from my time with Bill Chester the other day, and a prime example of why photography is an art (if I can say so without sounding arrogant) and not just a documentary medium.  What I mean is that this shot in no way represents the reality of the […]

Yesterday I talked about my visit to Chester’s Garage to meet the owner, Bill Chester.  Today I’m posting a detail from his garage featuring one of his vintage restored Fords with his antique gas station storefront in the background.  Not much else to say today, but I’ll be back tomorrow with some more shots of Bill. 5D […]

This is Bill Chester, the second subject for a community art project that artist Barbara Dahlstedt is working on (the “Myriah” images were the first).  As before, Dahlstedt was commissioned to do a portrait of a community member and she invited me along as a second photographer so that she could gather source materials for her portrait. […]

Here’s another orphan image I’ve had sitting on the hard drive for awhile. I wasn’t sure what to do with it for quite some time but I thought this would be a good time to post it and continue the geometric theme of my recent posts.  This image comes from West Fork Trail, just north of Sedona […]

This image was almost part of my Abstract Architecture series but didn’t quite seem to fit with the others somehow.  I still like the image, even if it is an orphan.  The title comes from my friend and fellow photography enthusiast, Phillip Swan; I posted this image on Facebook and he responded with the caption “hot wash” which […]

The ninth image I have stored up for this abstract architecture series (see THIS post for the series introduction) is called Tiki.  This is the last image of the series I have in my current portfolio but I’ve enjoyed it too much to call it done.  I’m sure I’ll continue to create more images of this style in the future. This one […]

The eighth image in my abstract architecture series is called Ribs (see THIS post for series intro).  I saw this building while driving to a friend’s home in downtown Phoenix to deliver a print.  I wandered around on ground level trying to find a composition that I liked and I couldn’t figure it out; there […]
