Portland Harbor

This photo of a tanker and Spring Point Lighthouse was taken summer '07. I I loved the overall composition of the picture, especially with the tattered flag flying right in front of the lens. I'll have more pix later.

Why photography matters to me


Photography is an essential tool for the preservation of contemporary culture for future generations. The above picture was taken in the second half of 1977, less than 6 months before my dad's death. Thelittle guy in the red hat is me. For me, it's a priceless treasure, irreplaceable. Posting it online also means as long as this blog exists, I'll always be able to find it. Thanks for looking.

Engine 3


A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to go back to my hometown (a whopping 15 minutes drive) and spend some time with the truck my dad was instrumental in securing the funds for. I feel it's appropriate to post a few of the best shots here. As a little boy, I was fascinated by fire trucks and by Mack trucks in particular. Somewhere in the stuff I won't touch till I have a genuine home to move into, I even have a couple Mack bulldog lapel pins. Here's a few of my favorites.
