Chris McCaw will be showing at the Steven Wirtz Gallery tonight in San Francisco from 5:30-7:30 pm.  He travels to Alaska, Nevada and other places using his unique sunburned photographic process with large-format homemade cameras. NPR did a nice write-up on him if you want to find out more about his process.

Fall always gets me in the mood to work with thread. I'm experimenting and if they turn out well, they may be exhibited in upcoming shows.

The annual Halloween tree is up thanks to Kim. My skullpture sits next to it.

Great photography by Helen Levi

I found this photographer, Helen Levi on Etsy. She did a series of photos at Mike Tyson's repossessed house. I love this one of the pool room.

Houseboats in Sausalito

A few weeks back we went to Sausalito so I could sketch or shoot photos of houseboats. It was an awesome day, overcast and drizzly. This was one of my favorites. It's tiny and looks like a converted boat. So far I have finished one small painting and have others lined up. In the afternoon, the skies cleared up and we lucked onto a free sail around the bay. More photos soon...
