American Safari 1999 (Summer 1999)During the summer of 1999, an English writer, Joe Patch, and I, an American photographer, drove over 15,000 miles along with Louis Baker, Joes son and an Australian boxer. Together in a Jeep Wrangler, we traveled the country in search of people and places that would make our trip into what we had hoped, a safari into American culture. During these three months on the road, we met people from all walks of life and a vast number of cultures. We hope these images and words will express what we found, our diversity as a nation and the kindness and sense of community that was predominate. Our positive experience offers up the opposite to the negative picture of American society painted by our countries news media.
All images were captured using Kodak and Fuji color reversal film.
Our sincere thanks to all who helped us along the way. Your kindness and hospitality was most appreciated.

The Laphroaig Photo Project (ONGOING PROJECT)These are photos of one unopened bottle of Laphroaig 10 Year Old Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky. The project will be on going and attempt to capture photographs of this particular bottle at historic events, famous places as well as tagging along with me during my daily routine. In addition, I will work to get this bottle photographed with well known, and not so well known, people such as celebrities, politicians, actors, police, firefighters, blue and white collar workers and photo manipulations...
The Project began March 18, 2006 and shall continue for quite some time. There are numerous influences that gave rise to this idea, but one project stands above the rest; "The Red Couch - A Portrait of America". In addition, a Bottle of Laphroaig is much easier to haul around than a couch and if for some reason I get tired of doing this, I can just stop where I am and open the bottle... End of project.
The Laphroaig Photo Project will continually evolve and re-define itself as photographs are taken and people and places influence the direction of the project.
DISCLAIMER: This project is not affiliated in any way whatsoever with the Laphroaig distillery. The individuals and businesses and in these and future images do not in any way infer an endorsement of any product. In addition, these images are not meant to imply any advocacy for or against the consumption of alcohol.
Please Drink Responsibly and if you're planning on not drinking responsibly, don't drive. It's a no brainer...
THIS IMAGE EVENT GALLERY IS A TEMPORARY HOME FOR THE LAPHROAIG PHOTO PROJECT. A DEDICATED DOMAIN IS CURRENTLY IN THE WORKS. THE URL WILL BE POSTED HERE WHEN UP AND RUNNING. |

Alaska wilderness hike (July 20 & 21, 2012)| This was a hike on the Crow Pass trail. The trail traverses a route between Girdwood and Eagle River, Alaska. It is beautiful from start to finish. Matt and I hiked this trail over a two day period. The trail is about 26 miles. We each had forty pounds in our backpacks. |

St Petersburg Russia (August 2011)The "Venice of the Baltic"; Peter the Great's greatest achievement, his "Window on the West". The city was christened St. Petersburg, then Petrograd, renamed Leningrad and is now back to being "St. Petersburg".
St. Petersburg began life as the Tsarist capital, survived an attenuated seige during World War II and is now being invaded by hordes of tourists. Packs of them - always accompanied by linguistically gifted, flag-toting guides, helping them devour and digest the city's best known sites.
Independent tourists have to devise their own strategies to combat the group tours - especially in summer. It is possible, but requires planning.
Unfortunately, August can harbor some of the rainiest days of the year. For our time, clouds and rain crowded out most glimpses of the sun.
Nevertheless, the town still gleamed. The Hermitage and Russian Museums garnered the usual awe. But some of the street scenes revealed an underlying coarseness. |
