Keeping busy

It's been over a month since I last posted anything on this blog. While I've been busy with work and school, I have also spent quite a bit of time photographing South Omaha. The lack of immediacy from shooting film doesn't really allow for consistent blog entries with photographs.

I am looking forward to revealing much of the South Omaha project at the Hot Shops Art Center in Omaha this coming May. The winter will be spent scanning negatives and organizing the series. I'll have more news soon.

Pictured above is the view of the Veteran's Memorial Bridge and Missouri River from Mandan Park.

ninety-three is nearing completion in book form. I've been sequencing the photographs and working on getting a cover design figured out. The book should be available from Blurb in the next few months.

Today was a gorgeous day

A few details for your enjoyment from a near perfect Sunday afternoon...

Way over yonder in the minor key

Some photographs from this afternoon in far southwestern Douglas County, Nebraska along the Elkhorn River. Fall is my favorite time of the year to photograph. There's just something about the fall light that's just about perfect.

October 1st

Some days you've got it. Some days you don't. Today was in the latter category. I spent some time in eastern Saunders County before watching an unfortunate performance by the Nebraska football team against Wisconsin.

I did make it to what's left of the village of Wann, Nebraska. Once a small settlement with a church and school, Wann now amounts to little more than a few houses and the structure along the railroad tracks in the photograph above.






For those who may not know, I've been uploading a large number of photographs to my Flickr page, many of which have not been seen before.
