Thematic Considerations II


So I’ve spent some time putting together a little booklet displaying my work, with the opening section titled "Los Angeles & Environs, 1958—2008." As an experiment, I'm going to have the overall dimensions 11x11 inches, so I can use both horizontal and vertical pictures. (So it's taking some time: I'll have to print the pages onto 11x14 paper and then trim to 11x11.)

With those dates, I had to use something from 1958: my Pacific Electric photo, and then something from 2008: my jogger photo. Scattered in-between are various black and white photos from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. I also wanted at least two color shots: I picked the one of the Oki Dog and then, the above Mural Painter photo.

The second section of the booklet has selections relating to my published work—quotes from Robinson Jeffers, Gary Snyder, Rebecca Saito and others.
