Hi Mike, I got a camera with a flip-up view screen for this reason. Found that people are reacting to someone lifting up the camera (or phone) to their face level.

By looking down at the view screen, holding the camera around stomach level, people don't seem to notice as much... Or be super fast!

There are some vintage medical portrait photographs floating around online that are ... undignified. So I redid some of them to emphasize the person, not the condition. #drawing #art #oilpastel

Black and White photograph of a dead Moose in snow with brush surrounding. Animal tracks can be seen in the snow.

Dead Moose, 2019.

We saw a black wolf shape quickly disappear as we approached in the truck. This was so far north that we had not seen another vehicle on the highway for hours. We got out and took photos, but definitely felt like we were being watched.

Thank you Jim—you too!

Drawing of three women at a table with one naked and looking at a phone, the second slouched but looking menacingly straight at the viewer with a finger in her goblet. The third is shrouded in shadow with dark eyes, looking off stage down and left and smoking a cigarette. An ashtray rests between the goblet and the resting hand with the cigarette.

the three muses. Drawing from 2012 apprx 32" across I think. I liked drawing with big graphite sticks on heavy, toothy printmaker's rag paper.

Started some gritty contemporary classical Greek scenes. probably gone. thinking of "re-doing" this series of drawings.

funny—didn't like it then. Do now
