Announcing 365^2 (365 Squared)

A photo-a-day for a year.

40/365 / Stream's End / January 12

I haven't posted anything in quite a while so it's fitting that this one is announcing a new project.

Taking a photo a day is an ambitious project for me to say the least. Keeping creative, sharpening my skills, and working towards a defined goal all seem good reasons to start such a project. I'm using my iPhone to make the taking and uploading as painless as possible. Plus using a camera like the iPhone has it's own challenges as well as niceities. The format being square almost makes for a level playing field photographically speaking. The ShakeItPhoto app adds a bit of style as well so the series will look uniform and stylistically similar. I'm looking forward to this project and after having completed a little over a month of it already I feel confident that I can take it to it's completion.

The project can be viewed on my website at or on Flickr. I'm looking forward to a full years worth of images and perhaps a possible book at the end in December.

Lapsed Posting…But a New Series!

Impermanence, decay, and time extended.

Welders Mask

Well its been a few weeks since my last post but I've come out of the gate with a new series. I call it Dust. It's a series started after a trip to my wife's grand parents home in Prescott, Arizona. We took a side trip one day to a restored ghost town nearby called Jerome. The place had quite a checkered past, full of old west shootouts, claim jumping and gold prospecting, but has now settled into a charming hippie town with, bikers, booze and boutiques. In town there's an old mine “museum”, which is something of a junk yard, that is in a state of permanent decay. It's filled with old cars, farm and mining equipment and dusty shacks with perhaps some nefarious histories. The place was captured in time and a perfect subject for me to explore the process of industrial desiccation. Warm tones, a ruddy palette and a subject steeped in history and dust.

School Room Tableaux

This one was photographed at the same time as Dunce Cap in the same room. With this photo, the relics of the old west really stand out and give it a feeling of dust and grime. Suspended decay in the school room.

Boar’s Head

Boar's Head

The site of a taxidermy animal is always a bit unnerving. Seeing it in this tool shed in an old ghost town in Arizona is more so. I did like the light in the room. It cast a heavenly glow on the head. I like to think of this image as a sort of purgatory for the earthly remains of a once living beast.

Dunce Cap

A junk yard museum in an old ghost town in Arizona provided me this photo. It was taken in a classroom that was in a state of permanent decay, a classroom in the days of gold mining and claim staking.
