Photo series I’m featuring on Etsy this week. I photographed this statue of Jesus in 1999 at the Church of the Transfiguration in Manhattan during one of my many photo meditations. It’s part of a diptych also for sale on my Etsy page. These two prints are true C-prints, not digital, printed from negatives in a darkroom onto color photo paper. Great fine art investment at $35 each print. These are the only prints I will be making and are signed by me on the back. Enjoy.
It’s so bad, it’s good.
On the way
To say hello to the needle.
I think too many people assume ADHD is an “invented” or “bogus” diagnosis. I assure you; it’s not. This young man captures exactly what it’s like to have ADHD. I know because my brother was diagnosed with it as a child, and I often spent time tutoring him to make up for what he wasn’t able to learn in class. My brother wasn’t slow. In fact, he was, and still is, quite quick witted. He just didn’t have the attention span most kids did. He preferred to run laps around the classroom or get into some mischief (as most little boys do). I often used to tell him he should be an actor, because he was so good at improv and making up storylines to act out for our entertainment. He just wasn’t able to sit still long enough to write essays and complete math tests accurately.
Now, having been a producer in the entertainment and advertising industry, I am positive he would have excelled in my industry- …just like many other celebrities with ADHD. I’m surrounded by some very talented people with ADHD. It can be an asset once you learn to manage it…which is well illustrated in this video. “Max” (aka Josh) is going places.

Stay warm and safe, my friends on the east coast.
I’m posting this late but here lies my first photographs of 2014. I’m doing the photo a day adventure this year. Enjoy!
You may or may not have heard about a blog movement called “One Word 365.” Instead of making a list of resolutions that you swear you’ll diligently keep, this theme has to do with choosing just one word. This word will be your motto, your mantra, the word that will describe and direct your 2014.
My one word is: Balance.
Balance in the way I eat.
Balance in the way I exercise- not sporadically. No more yoga intensified months and then nothing for the rest of the year!
Balance in how much time I give to my art, whether it be photography, painting, or writing. I won’t get specific about which genre, but give myself the freedom to just create without rules or expectations.
and balance in behavior, life, love and work. I began this last year and I plan on continuing it this year.
I will stop, look, eat, breathe, think, act and consider… with a sense of balance…instead of extremes.
Boring to you? Challenging to me.
If you could choose one word for 2014 instead of creating a list of resolutions, what would that one word be?
