FEATURED PRINT March 2025
Cymbidium Orchid. Life Form Series. 2013.
In such fractured times as we are currently living through, I often take refuge in the Life Form gallery here in my studio. I almost always pause in front of this print of an orange Cymbidium Orchid. This bloom is such an iconic form, that the photograph has always felt deeply life-giving. With the Flora and Form workshop coming up I thought it would be nice to offer it as our Featured Print this month.
I’m offering a 14-inch-wide print of this photograph for $195. Larger prints can be ordered. This print at this price is offered through March 31. I'll be taking orders until then, and shipping them out by April 15, 2024. The image reverts to its normal price after that, $800 for an 11x14, $1500 for a 16x20 print.
ARCHIVE PHOTOGRAPH March 2025
Cirrus Sky. Pacifica, 2025.
Cirrus Sky. Pacifica, CA. 2025
On February 21 the sky above my studio was filled with huge feathered cirrus clouds. I took numerous overlapping exposures to record the expanse, first with my iPhi9ne, then with my Canon R5. This stitched pano encompassed the breadth of the form, but doesn’t get at the enormity of it.

After a few years of working intensely on my Urban Eden Golden Gate Park project, I am excited to offer a two-day photographic workshop in this complex and beautiful landscape. Now 150 years old, this park symbolizes parkland engineering and the earth itself taking its own course of life and fecundity. The park will be explored over two days with a blend of photographic opportunity, assistance, and my growing knowledge of its own back woods. This springtime weekday workshop will avoid some of the weekend crowds.
