Art

Sketches

Sketchbook pages, none of them precious.

Hatching

Line work, where the only tone available is how close the lines are.

Graphics

Flat colour, hard edges, and as few shapes as a likeness allows.

Canvas

Canvas, mostly small, mostly evenings.

Pens

Sketchbook-sized, one sitting each.

Still Life

Cut-paper flowers, built and then photographed.

Football

Friday nights for the school paper, at a shutter speed that had to be right the first time.

Cheer

Sideline and stunt, where the shot is decided before it happens.

Powderpuff

Flag football, and the same discipline as the Friday nights.

Swim

A meet, where everything worth keeping happened inside a fifth of a second.

Nature

Plumeria and canopy. Plants photograph well for one reason, which is that they hold still.

Fantasy

A staged series shot on a road and in a forest: confetti, planets, a lantern, one white dress.

Flashcards

The card routine, shot from the field.

Yearbook

Four years of a high school yearbook, which I edited. The cover is thermal-printed: the black silhouettes warm under your hand and clear to a collage of students underneath. The only work on this page that was actually work.
