Picture of the Week #109 "Exercise Time"

Picture of the Week #109 "Exercise Time" Kathmandu, Nepal 2000 Signed and Stamped

I'd like to say that finding images that are unique and bring a smile to my face are usually hard to find. But in Kathmandu I had a field day. Yes, I manipulated the sky and brought out the color but these Holy Men were just sitting on a corner posing for anyone who happened by with a camera. I don't know how rare this is, but when we were there it was easy. Check out Picture of the Week #15 and #26 for other Holy Men. My cynical side once thought that these men were tourist attractions and this was their vocation, posing and begging.

Santa's Coming - Ho Ho Ho

Santa's Coming Ho Ho Ho Beverly Hills, California 2010

As Ann and I walked through Beverly Hills today I spotted this guy with his dog, and although we were not going to be sending out Christmas cards or even decorating the house this year, this image was too irresistible to pass up. So, at the last minute before Christmas I emailed this to 500 of our email friends. Merry Christmas.

Picture of the Week #108 "Clean Up at Gagosian"

Picture of the Week #108 "Clean Up at Gagosian" Beverly Hills, California USA 2010 Signed and Stamped

On my periodic walks through Beverly Hills, I always check out ACE and Gagosian Galleries as well as any one showing my work. One day they were installing this incredible piece at Gagosian. The gallery was closed for the installation but the street door was open. I snapped from my trusted point and shoot that is always attached to my belt and caught the moment perfectly.

Picture of the Week #107 "Window Washer of Vancouver 3"

Picture of the Week #107 "Window Washer of Vancouver 3" Vancouver, Canada 2005 Signed and Stamped

This is the third image of the Window Washer of Vancouver that I have posted. I love them all for the graphics and possible danger they represent, not to mention the beauty. Each photo that I took was from a different angle and therefore the reflections on the building were different.

Picture of the Week #106 "Johnny Cash in White"



Picture of the Week #106 "Johnny Cash in White" Nashville, Tennessee USA 1972 Signed and Stamped

I directed Johnny Cash in a number of Music Videos for Columbia Records under Clive Davis starting in 1970. We got along great, and he had asked for me back to shoot this video two years later. The photo was taken in a recording studio where he was working on a new album. We also shot at his house and out and about in Nashville. I didn't get to do his Folsom gig, but wish I had. Although Johnny was known as the man in black, I knew him differently. That's me pointing something out to him while holding my trusted camera.
