Serene pier
Saw this scene while biking on Shining Sea Bikeway looking out at Martha’s Vineyard Sound. Wood’s Hole, Massachusetts. The background was boring so I stole a sunset I shot in Hilton Head Island and dropped it in. I love the serenity of the mossy pier with the kingfishers perched on top.

New installation of one of my favorites ever – a 1948 KBL International coupe from my Rust Rapture Collection. Its new home is at Stitch Texas in Austin. Stitch is Austin’s favorite apparel development company and factory right in the heart of Austin. This is a team of expert technicians working with hundreds new and emerging designers every year to bring their innovations and dreams to fruition. Vesta Harman founded Stitch in 2013. My son Kristopher joined forces with her in 2104.

Two new installations of my abstract photography collection called Rust Rapture.
First is a 42 x 36 canvas print of “Aqua Marine” a close shot of the front fender of a 1935 GM Truck rat rod. This is hanging in the Den of Ryan and Whitney Hsu in Winston Salem.

The second is “Fusion” which I extracted from the driver door of a 1940 Buick rat rod. This one is hanging in the entry foyer of the home of Robin and Wayne Mosle in Washingon, DC. This is a 60 x40 paper print on Epson Luster Paper.

Both of these prints are interesting because they each have an anchor point to give you a sense for what you are looking at. Fusion has a small door knob in the top left. And Aqua Marine has a bit of the headlight on the right.
Hobbit Huts in Austin
Hobbit Huts in Austin.
This is a different sort of architectural photography project. Patrick Dougherty is an sculptor who builds these huts out of sticks. When I read about these he was building at Pease Park in Austin, I just had to go do some photographic spot lighting and see if I could get that glowing Hobbit Hut feel out of them. This is what I got after masking 40 layers in Photoshop. Patrick’s home is near Chapel Hill, NC. He installs these all over the country.

Fusion – abstract photography
It is not often that I print my Rust Rapture pieces on paper – normally I print on canvas because they print up so well in large formats like 2 x 3 feet. This client asked for a large format print on epson luster paper so they could frame it for their front foyer. This piece is called Fusion. It is from a 1940 Buick Rat Rod. These abstract photographs are all derived from the exteriors of old vintage hot rods whose exteriors have been left to the demise of mother nature – the heat, rain, sun and belt sanders. The resulting patinas are spectacular. Often these print can be hung in any direction but on Fusion, there is a door knob – yep that is a door knob in the top left which sort of need to be in the right place.
