Head, Foot, and Eye Protection Required

Art galleries come and go, yet artists remain open for a lifetime. There’s no positive answer to my work because it looks like pictures of stuff and is often written off as easy, but it’s thoughts on image assemblage.

Generation Loss: Image Making in an Age of Over-Saturation

In analog media development, the term “generation loss” refers to the modification of content and reduction of detail when duplicates or multiple generations of copies are created. "Generation Loss" takes the pulse of photography in an age where everyone is a photographer. The show highlights the work of 11 innovative photographers, printmakers, painters, and collage artists utilizing and interpreting photographic content as a primary source for their work.

8x10 View Camera

I shared my 8x10 view camera with people at the Odessa Art Association’s booth at Mural Fest and answered questions. For many, it was their first time seeing a camera like this up close. The camera is fun and laborious, and my job is to prevent the work from overtaking what’s enjoyable.

Orla

A tall cylindrical gas pump stands outside the small wooden building covered with flaking paint. Inside, a concession stand waits beside mailboxes at the last stop for gas, cold drinks, snacks, beer, and ice, a long way to anywhere from Orla Grocery.

San Antonio to El Paso Road

The San Antonio to El Paso Road, beginning circa 1850, was a western mail route across Texas to the Pacific. It went west along US 90 and turned north to join the Devils River at Comstock, linking forts Lancaster, Stockton, and Davis—and historic sites Casa Navarro, Landmark Inn, and Magoffin Home.

Navasota

In 2014, at sunset, my parents and I pulled into downtown Navasota for pictures. I walked outside an abandoned hotel, carried my camera, and admired Railroad Street’s timeworn architecture.
