When I was about ten years old, I found this perfectly round stone on the beach on an island in Puget Sound.

The altered bottle in the foreground is step one of a larger project for an upcoming show in Sacramento.
I'll update as it progresses.
This natural beach stone is one of several handpicked stones from Pebble Beach in Rockport, MA. Worn smooth from eons of tumbling in the ocean each stone is OOAK and unique... All stones are removed from their locale & decorated by hand w/their permission & willingness. Each piece is consciously co-created with Spirit.

Close-up of an old utility pole with rusty metal loops sticking out in every direction. Shot in black and white on a clear day, the shapes and shadows stand out sharply against the sky. It’s one of those small, overlooked things in the city that ends up looking kind of sculptural when you really focus on it.

Another oldie from my first year in Vancouver. When I spotted Jiminy Cricket on this fence in the Kitsilano neighbourhood, the colour jumped out at me. Dull day. Framing it like this, I wasn't totally comfortable with the composition. Although 46 years have passed, I clearly remember my dilemma, and the choice to allow that blue fence to recede into the background. It would draw the eye away if Jiminy were not so brightly coloured. As it is, I think there's balance, although just barely.
I shot this on the old pre-Velvia Fujichrome (Velvia was still 18 years in the future): 100 ISO, tending toward pastel tones, muted and slightly muddy, colour balance fairly good. Every film had its unique palette. When I process scanned slides from the past I try not to mess with that palette too much, unless there is a bad colour cast or fading that makes major reconstruction necessary.
The camera was a Pentax Spotmatic, with a 28mm lens; scanned from the original Fujichrome slide. Photographed in Vancouver, BC (Canada). Don't use this image on websites, blogs, or other media without explicit permission © 1973 James R. Page - all rights reserved.
