The Nav-a-Gator Grill and Trop Rock at Desoto...

“The music continues, the scent of gator and conch fritters waft on the humid breeze, the crowd begins passing a communal bottle of Sangria, and someone throws a rubber chicken in your direction…” Read the rest of my feature (with lots more photos) at the SWFL Barometer!

Fans, Tourists gather outside the hotel where...

“Tour buses made stops so tourists could see. More than a few people, waiting to turn at the corner, lowered their windows to take photos with phones…a pair of ladies even broke out and sang a little of their favorite Whitney song for their interview. People who were driving that couldn’t stop and see, would often honk their horns, which I personally thought was a little...

How to Photograph a Protest

“You listen out for the bangs of fire crackers, and sound grenades, and the thudding of rock on plastic shields to guide you to where things are happening — and then you stay right up until you hear the loud fizz of tear gas bursting from its canister. At that point — you either stay as long as you can handle it or retreat with the camera over the shoulder…” ...

The Power of the Crowd - My interview with...

“The people are having all control taken out of their hands and are completely at the mercy of their unrepresentative government who, in turn, are being shafted by the higher economic partners. It’s a very long story but, basically, the measures being taken are starting to hit everyone very hard and there is very little else to do, other than fight back. Saying...

The anguish of fading away...

Ancient. Well into the final months of his life, he approached me, all tubes and oxygen tanks, alone he walked, beneath the burden of his portable life-support system. He glanced at me, young, before him. Images of his own youth flashed across the inside of his mind, the only part of him still feeling young, the only part that hadn’t visibly aged, interior self. My youth was a time-travel...

Ignore the voices in your head...

What is it we’re always telling ourselves? We’ve got these voices in our heads, urging us in the direction of our egos, leading us away from nature, turning us in to so much less than we were ever intended to be…and we need to ask ourselves, who is doing the talking here? Who owns that recognized whisper, the one that sounds just like we do even though no one else can hear it? Is it...

Assert your own existence...

I’m surrounded by printed and digitally broadcast information. Archives and reruns, redundant and opiate, drawing me in. Stacks of books with pleasing colors on their covers, fancy fonts, compelling blurbs…all full of other peoples’ ideas. Thoughts are more easily pondered than conveyed. You’ve got to push to communicate. Work and wine make you tired. Other human beings demand attention...

Strange Seasons...

I’ve got blind spots in my past. Months I can hardly remember being me. Cinema memories faded blurrier than a forgettable movie. The sad sequels and counterculture fuzz of my chemically induced days. Lost histories. Strange seasons. Sometimes they come back. Snippets of experience, the hidden foundations of who I was, who I’ve become. A hint of the skies overhead, the color of...

My OneNews Interview with Rodrigo Lobo - Building...

“Many of the onlookers were scared because there was no apparent cause for the tragedy. We had suffered no earthquake. We had endured no terrorist attack…still, there was damage on a massive scale. Photographing the event was an interesting experience, because I soon realized that they were not maintaining old buildings next to the luxurious city’s Municipal...
