1971 Protest Photos

These photos are from 1971. Protesting atomic tests on Amchetka Alaska.













We marched through the streets of Detroit and blocked the bridge to Canada.















The police were there to protect us :)












This woman is wondering what is going on I'm sure.

Night Pictures

I was out at arownd 4:30 am and I thought Id make a picture of the tree under this street light.












Just as I finised setting up my camera and tripod this fellow "Lil Phil" comes walking along.

So I asked him to stand by the tree. He did and I shot using a flash an 30s timer. He then began to walk away thinking the picture was done.


But I stopped him and asked if he would step back by the tree explaining that there was a 30s timer and would he wait till I counted off the time. He did and the just walked away.

I was only able to call after him and ask his name "Lil Phil" is all he said. Not seen him since.







I then went back to my original plan and made the third photo not knowing if I had anything on film that I wanted. Turns out I got more.

Painting for Chloe

A painting I've done for my grandaughter Chloe. "Pink Flamingo under the Tirquoise Tree."













My daughter Abby likes elephants so this is my painting for her.



















I take pictures to study by. Not nessesarily to paint from. This is a study of textures and line. I may make a rendering of this but not a duplicate. Or I just need it for the inspiration.
