Painted
A coating measured in mils (1 mil = 1 /1000 in).
Some are painted to improve or ‘beautify’, never mind the building material beneath. Some represent an endless dialog between building owner and graffiti artist.

Open
This has grown into a collection of spaces defined by architectural elements. Not sure what it means yet.
So far what I’m seeing is the conflict between ‘open’ vs ‘enclosed’ and ‘loss’ vs ‘potential’. There may or may not be any more to it than that. After getting Near Grinders, I unconsciously began to analyze and rationalize what it was I was seeing and pretty quickly the ‘concept’ ran out of control ahead of the ‘vision’ — the verbal half of my brain had taken over from the non-verbal.
So I’m examining these.
What you see here is a ruthlessly culled version of the original series including only those photos that most closely represent what my eye initially saw in that first vacant lot. I hope to add more, so stayed tuned…

Photos of Noble Savages Enduring Wretched Circumstances
This series of photos is an attempt to challenge the assumed inherent dichotomy manifest in linearity, be it tangibly spectral or temporally idiosyncratic.
And in the next paragraph, a graphic account of wild animals ripping the flesh from careless tourists.

Pixelated
I was inspired to experiment with pixelating some of my own images after seeing work by artist Devorah Sperber at Crystal Bridges Museum. Not sure the work is currently on display, but the museum is worth a visit none the less.
These are versions of the photos I did at the 2009 SantaCaliGon Days Festival, rendered in very very low resolution. Where the originals were 5616 x 3744 pixels, these are 16 x 12. See the original Funnel cake images HERE. I’ve retained the numbering so the before and after can be compared.
The more anal-retentive amongst my esteemed viewers will note that I’ve deleted some image at the extreme left and right in order to make these fit a 4:3 ratio instead of the original 3:2. If I’d stuck to a direct translation, these would be 18 x 12px.
