Fun Photography in San Diego

We visited friends in San Diego last week and went wandering around Barrio Logan. I'm fond of seeking out small details within large murals, and came up with these two jaguar images, almost hidden within the surrounding swirls and sweeps of color. Amazing artwork and incredibly fun to shoot. Especially with friends.

Latest work: "Dragonfly"

This is a blue-eyed darner dragonfly (Aeshna multicolor) who flew into my garage late last summer and then died.

He was so big, so beautiful, I took him inside, photographed him, and then brought him into the computer.

I added some of my photos of scratched and painted papers as well as a hand-painted circle to create a new “environment” for him that’s appropriate for his colors and his big-eyed view of the world.

Latest work: "Dancing"

Just because I could... Trying to shake things up a bit, so I rummaged through my photos and began putting together a photomontage without overthinking it. No real thought, just doing. And this is the result. It's completely different from anything I've ever made, and I'm still wondering about it.

I used pictures of a building in Portland, Oregon's industrial district (the brickwork), a mannequin that was standing on a loading platform (Portland again), a portion of a vintage postcard that depicted Long Beach, California (the "dancing" sign), graffiti arrows, a parking sign from Cambridge, England, and I don't remember now where the star thingy came from.

Interested in feedback, if you care to comment.
