This initial volume represents a tiny portion of 18,448 color slides taken between 1974-2006. The content is ubiquitous, ranging all around the world and is presented in a partially random order with subtitles.
This second volume consists of my first series of digital images, taken from 2006-2010, after I reluctantly discontinued using film and slide projectors. The UBIQUITIES title reflects my extensive travels and desire to be everywhere at once. Each page will hopefully delight the reader, especially the captions.
This third volume consists of my best digital shots from 2007-2010 and is essentially a continuation of UBIQUITIES TWO in style and content. The content, however, is far more exotic.
This ACHROMATICS volume is the first of several black and white converted works that many folks seem to prefer over the color shots. With the use of Photoshop, it is great fun to toy around with altering the chromatic to their achromatic cousins, often salvaging disposable pictures.
This is the first of several content-focused volumes, in this case, entirely upon Panama City. I needed extensive dental work and something constructive to do between appointments, so I rented a car and drove all over this fascinating capitol city to capture street life in Panama.
This sixth volume is another focused work that encapsulates a tour throughout portions of Mongolia. This journey was but a fantasy when I was a geographically fascinated boy. I never dreamed that I would actually spend time on the Gobi Desert and sleep in a yurt.
This seventh effort is one of my absolute favorite books. I was so fortunate to tour ancient Persia and modern Iran for 18 days and see many of the major cities and historical sites. At times we felt as if we had the country to ourselves as most prospective tourists chickened out and stayed home.
The title of this eighth production is AMERICA'S HEARTLAND, capturing the highlights of a loop trip that began and ended in Bismarck, North Dakota. This is the true Fly Over Zone where few venture unless they have relatives or business meetings in the larger cities.
Friends kept telling me they liked my people pictures, even though I considered portraiture my weakness because I shoot so damned rapidly. These shots range over 37 years through 2011, all over the world. This particular volume may be the most ubiquitous of them all. Titled HUMANS, the photos are distinct from those of animals and family members.
This ACHROMATICS TWO book is just what it denotes. It is a continuation of ACHROMATICS, UBIQUITIES FOUR. Some of these shots are quite dramatic and benefit from the color to black and white conversion process.
For my book reading at Elliott Bay Bookstore in Seattle. I wanted to produce a special volume which would highlight my favorite chromatic and achromatic shots over a 37-year period. The first 180 images are black and white favorites, while the following 258 are color favorites. The front cover has an all-American shot of the Brooklyn Cyclones ballpark at night behind home plate, a piece of American grandeur that attempts to recapture the nostalgic ghost of the late Brooklyn Dodgers (circa 1958).
This volume constitutes my best shots of everyday life in Cuba. I traveled from La Habana to Sancti Spiritus to Cienfuegos to Pinar del Rio to Vinales, over one thousand miles of roadways. The collection of images ranges from street life to Cuban League baseball games to tobacco farms. The strength of this book lies in its portraitures.
As a staunch atheist, I am a real sucker for a jesus sign or any far right-wing billboards. They tickle my innards. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that people believe their promos but they're as sure of themselves as I am. Besides signs are a commercial and ethical reflection of particular American values which have begun to experience Tectonic shifts recently.
This sixteenth volume consists entirely of city views around the world. Most images are gritty urbanscapes except for some panoramics of small town America.
The images in Myanmar, a.k.a. Burma, constitute the seventeenth volume in the burgeoning Ubiquities series. This south Asian nation has just opened up to tourists. I went with a small tour group to designated places such as Rangoon (Yangon), Mandalay, Bagan, and Inle Lake.
This 18th UBIQUITIES volume captures the death, decay, and deterioration of the USA in the early 20th century, with a special focus on homes, businesses, and autos.
No one has ever produced a visual compilation of neon signs in the Emerald City. What lies within these dramatically lit pages in UBIQUITIES NINETEEN is the most comprehensive display of Seattle neon icons ever collected in one volume.
This is the 20th volume in the UBIQUITIES series. The interior consists of my favorite photos from among over 100,000 images. Content and locations are truly ubiquitous.
This is the long-awaited 22nd UBIQUITIES volume that encompasses over forty years of American road travel. These picturesque nature photos constitute a virtual tour of the uninhabited USA.
Volume 23 is a twin with FOOD (#21) except that the images consist of signs, colors, and architecture of cafes and bars all over the country. Many of these small town joints will be gone soon.
Ubiquities 24 is an American classic: trains, bridges, antique cars and trucks, subways, rollercoasters, and tunnels. A special section on antique Cadillacs delights the senses.
