Your Daily Photograph! and me...
Just received notification that one of my images was selected by YourDailyPhotograph. Check out the site to see which one! I will post the image after they do.
This is a cool deal where the Duncan Miller Gallery sends out three images a day that are available at a special price for a limited time. Artists from Kertesz to Pafford ;-) - are featured. Incredible images that are so enjoyable to look at at 9:00 in the morning when the email arrives. I look forward everyday to the collection that has been chosen. I purchased one myself!

The pear farmer
Our road has a history that is steeped in the farming tradition, long before it was claimed by the vineyards. We have lived on an apple orchard that was probably over 100 years old. Eric's grandpa harvested hay. There are remnants of Italian plums as well. And the man up the road, John, had a pear orchard.
I loved his little old house and the old unkempt orchard. Always a cat on the porch and a vintage antennae on the roof. I have a VanDyke that I did a few years ago of the house, that I love.
He died some months ago and I was very sad. I think he was approaching 100 and lived by himself, with his daughter and her husband coming by daily to care for him so that he could stay in his house.
The family let me go in and take a few pictures. I saw his favorite hats. I saw his old claw foot tub. His numerous clocks all telling different times. And his windows, each looking directly out onto a tree. Like they were planted for that reason.
These images are to honor John and the beauty he brought to us.

La Piccola Raccolta - The Little Harvest
These images are now available through Saret Gallery in Sonoma. Amy Saret has an incredible collection of master works from iconic photographers. Visiting her gallery is like visiting a museum exhibition of photography.
My images are a few chosen from the series on The Little Harvest - or La Piccola Raccolta.
The small harvests in Sonoma Valley. Originally, these were part of a larger body of work artfully exploring the harvesting of grapes in a small vineyard. Available as a folio or as individual images in limited editions.
