I’m thrilled to announce that Georgia-based Fall Line Press will soon publish my new book of photographs, DIRT FRESH.
DIRT FRESH expresses the sentiment of starting from the ground up and delighting in experimentation and discovery, always striving for “beginner’s mind”. I've spent decades photographing the social landscape, drawn to the colors and rich graphics of ordinary places. I experiment with both harmonious and discordant colors, finding deep satisfaction in the experience. This practice sparks amusement and playful experimentation, pushing me to discover new ways to express what I see and feel.
Photography has been transformative, helping me move from living in my head—detached by early trauma—to fully sensing and experiencing reality. For 50 years my camera has been a tool for recovery, allowing me to revel in the simple joy and humor of color, form, place and human gesture without over-intellectualizing. It’s a deeply personal pursuit, but if my images resonate with others, that’s an incredible bonus.
In the coming months, Fall Line Press and I will be revealing more about DIRT FRESH—sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes insights, and even some special early-bird offers on the book and related items.
