NEW: "Between Tides"
For the past few years I've been photographing the bluffs along the Oregon coast, where basalt and sandstone, eroded by the pounding surf and imbued with minerals, crack apart, reconfigure and reinvent themselves. In turn, I construct and then deconstruct my images to emphasize their varied forms and colors.
Fishing Nets
The looks I get from fishermen as I wander around their piles of nets, shooting away, have become predictable and comical. They'll stand there, not knowing I can see them in the reflection of my viewfinder, looking at me, then at the nets, then back at me. Sometimes they'll ask, almost apologetically, "what the heck are you shooting?" To me, the colors, textures, and often-sensuous draping of the netting are too good to resist.
Bayshore Sandstorm
Every year, wind and rain conspire to bury the vacation houses out on the spit of sand below us called Bayshore. And every year the homeowner association-owned little tractor digs out the houses and trucks cart away the sand. This sand "blizzard" has a beauty all its own, as you'll see here.
Photomontage Abstracts
All of these abstracts were made using my photographs of scratched metal, cement, torn paper, old Japanese books, paint, rust, and more.  
Orbs!
Very cool-looking, but, like dessert, empty calories. And addicting.
Oregon Coast
This is my neighborhood. Welcome!
