ROME
Turn almost any corner in the city and you may find a visual treasure.
This wall is a triptych because the unfolding imagery didn’t fit into a single frame.
MALIBU ROCKS
The ragged cliffs of Malibu contain a spectacular jumble of stratified rocks:
natural sculpture shaped by the winds and tides from the Pacific Ocean.
PAPER TREES
Paper Eucalyptus trees line many of the side streets in Santa Monica and Venice, California.
They have luxuriant, exfoliating bark that peels away just like paper in all sorts of fanciful ways.
LEFT & RIGHT
Pavements have their own geometry and wit. On the left, a painted curb catches the sun in Mexico.
On the right, black tar turns parking lot stripes into a perfect triangle.
MY MONET
The title is ironic. The subject is the furthest thing from Monet’s famous Impressionist painting of water lilies: a rancid steel container abandoned on a beach and covered in flies. Nonetheless the rusted surface glinting in the sunlight had its own unique beauty.
SHARKS ON METAL
The hood of a car parked alone near a roadside cafe in the middle of desert scrubland. It had been abandoned to the Mexican sun, with its paint peeling away in red, white and blue teeth-like strips.
