Photo 1 Students
I've just published a book of student photographs from my Fall 2009 Photo 1 class. The title is MORE NEW STUFF. See a preview here. 40 pages, 10"x8" Standard Landscape size.
JAPANESE SIGNS
684 photographs of an amazing assortment of signs and related objects that give directions, sell food, restrict parking, identify products, act as mascots, etc. All photographs were made in July 2009.
DANGEROUS CURVE
DANGEROUS CURVE is a collection of 258 photographs of signs and other things along the roads in the region where I live. Naive and often misspelled words, poor spacing of letters, mix of upper and lower case letters, backwards letters, etc., are often humorous. I enjoy exploring the back roads, searching for this kind of subject material.

JAPAN {JITENSHA}
JITENSHA is the Japanese word for bicycle, but one might hear the slang word charinko, instead. Bicycling is the easiest means of local transportation in the neighborhood. A typical bicycle is not the sleek Lance Armstrong version, but rather the mama-chari ("mom's bike") with its front basket, noisy brakes, and built-in lock. These heavy bikes are most common, but electric bikes, folding bikes and bikes with tiny wheels are now popular.
These bicycle photographs were made during a trip to Japan in July 2009.
220 photographs of Japanese bicycles, people on or with bicycles, NO BICYCLES signs, etc.
JAPAN {SHASHIN}
Japan is a visually-stimulating country that I enjoy photographing. All the chaotic and confusing details are eye candy to me. I spent the month of July 2009 traveling to many cities meeting friends and strangers ("new friends"), eating great food, and exploring back streets and alleys. This book is a selection of 810 photos from my trip. SHASHIN is the Japanese word for PHOTOGRAPH.
Please preview my other books, too. JAPAN: IN MY VIEW has additional photos from my trip to Japan.
810 photographs, 7x7 square format, 240 pages.
LOOKING AT LINES
134 photos of the amazing clutter and chaos of power lines that crisscross and tangle above your head in Japan. I thought some of these were simply amazing, so I made many photos of wires when I traveled in Japan during July 2009.
Some of these photos were included in the 9th Biennial Faculty Exhibition at Carson-Newman College in October-November 2009.
JAPAN: IN MY VIEW
People, places and things that got my attention while traveling in Japan during the Summer of 2009. There are plenty of photo books with pretty scenes with cherry trees and manicured gardens. I was interested in the chaotic, noisy, crowded real Japan that I knew from living there for 6 years. These photos are a small sample of what I saw on my trip.
This book has approximately 600 photographs, including 2 photo mosaics.
All of the photos in the companion exhibition catalog are included in this volume.
Take a look at the sample pages, and if you like what you see, please buy my book.
LITTLE BUILDINGS
130 photographs of abandoned gas stations, garages, small warehouses, fruit stands, used car lots, motels, and miscellaneous small buildings that I found along back roads and highways during my travels.
