In the heart of western Montana I would never expect to find flat minimalist horizon lines, but you will find extreme changes in weather conditions. These images were taken a few hours apart on the same day...

(*) These will be quickly assembled collections based on simple themes, to be presented here as a mini photo show curated in less than 30 minutes of Flickr browsing. Themes will be arbitrary and random, just whatever I am into at the moment. I welcome theme suggestions and guest curators who would like to take a crack at this.

The lines and patterns of parking lots hold great fascination to my eye. They are wonderful places for compositional study and practice. A collector's paradise. I am certainly not the first photographer to be seduced by parking lots...

Hey, Hot Shot!.... who, me?
My Collected Horizon series has been selected as a Hey, Hot Shot! contender and is featured on Jen Bekman's HHS blog. More thrilled and excited I could not possibly be! I have followed the Hey, Hot Shot! project since it began and being considered a contender for it is the coolest thing that has ever happened to me as a photographer.

Congratulations to David Osei in reaching the finals of the Pennsylvania State wrestling championships at Hershey. Tough loss to Evan Craig. Both wrestlers went into the final undefeated, and Craig edged Osei in a 3-1 decision.
I had the privilege of photographing David for his entire high school career, and I wish him nothing but the best as he moves on to play football for Rutgers University.

Philadelphia's Chinatown has been squeezed so many times over the years... the Vine Street expressway, the Convention Center, the Gallery, the Bus Terminal.... it is now a tiny little island of a community that is struggling to survive.
I believe that a Casino anywhere in the Market East area will mean the eventual death of Chinatown. Say what ever you want about needed tax revenues, Casinos are not the answer. I am not going to get into a moral debate about this subject on this blog, but I want to make it clear that I believe the negatives of gambling and casinos far far outweigh any positives. End of discussion.
If you agree, go visit this important web site....
