A Rewind: Paris | The River Seine

A Rewind: Paris | The River Seine

In 1990 I had the pleasure of going to Paris, France. I took the trip alone from the Netherlands. What an adventure seeing this beautiful city. I visited all the major museums in the city center along the river Seine. And of course the Eiffel Tower, the Latin Quarter and surrounding areas. I will always remember that moment in front of the Nord, thinking I was a long way from home.

A Rewind: The World Spins Black / White | 1991

A Rewind: The World Spins Black White | 1991

In 1991 I created the video installation entitled: The World Spins Black/White. This digitally composed photograph is a snapshot of a world globe wrapped in barbwire and decaying roses that I suspended above the rest of the installation. The piece itself was an examination of a society in civil and social unrest. For a review of the actual video installation at Highwire Gallery in Philadelphia, please feel free to go to my Youtube channel located in the above menu bar. And select The World Spins Black/White video.

“Women’s sports are so boring!” I have heard this many times throughout my life, mostly stated by men. This is simply idiotic. But, before I begin to explain why, let me first explain what inspired me to write this post.

Lance Armstrong and the Whole Doping Thing

As everyone knows, there has been a lot of question about the future of professional cycling due in large part to the recent Lance Armstrong affair.  After the initial USADA report was released, a slew of other problems have presented themselves to the men’s pro ranks.  Rabobank, a longtime sponsor of cycling, has decided to withdraw their support of all cycling beginning with the coming season.  Some of Rabobank’s pro cyclocross and amateur sponsorship will remain in place, but men’s and women’s pro road and mountain bike teams will cease to exist in the coming seasons.  If that…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Green | The Park

Weekly Photo Challenge: Green

This is an interesting challenge. And a challenge to post mainly because it is asking for a multiple of images per post. However, because I am using my phone to post to the challenge, I do not have the capability, or have not figured out, how to post multiple images. Sigh. So please bear with me with the single image.

Nothing brings green to the forefront like a park. This digital collage created in 1997, is one of my first large-scale (42″ x 48″) prints. I’ve always loved this piece. I took all the park photos in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia while biking and hiking. I combined them with archival photos of my family in Central Park and 4th of July picnics. Green dominates the feeling of the piece. Lush and beautiful. The Park 1997.
