Current projects
My current project includes photographing old cars, gas stations, and other bits of old Americana using HDR techniques. I find these old places along the road in my RV while traveling and exhibiting my work.
Upcoming Projects and Trips
Part of my main project, I want to travel along Route 66 in Arizona to photograph the old cars, old gas stations, and any other interesting things I may find along the way.
