Trolley Car, New Orleans - 1955

Many things have and will be said of Robert Frank's monumental photographic reportage of the state of things in America back in '55. Jack Kerouac said,

"Anybody doesn't like these pitchers don't like potry, see? Anybody don't like potry go home see Television shots of big hatted cowboys being tolerated by kind horses. Robert Frank, Swiss, unobtrusive, nice, with that little camera that he raises and snaps with one hand he sucked a sad poem right out of America onto film, taking rank among the tragic poets of the world."

Was lucky enough to catch the entire body of work for his romp through the heartlands and badlands last night at the Metropolitan Museum while on assignment. Along with Cartier-Bresson, Frank has been my true mentor and teacher through all these years. Thanks.

Ah, the ebb and flow of life.

Back on THE ROAD!

Vegas tomorrow.

A week back in the Bay Area.

NYC for two two weeks.

Then, the Tucson desert odyssey with the Wild Hare.

More, to come. Much, much more... so much more to come.

DO NOT seek the treasure!

Cartier's Cuba - From My Minds Eye

"Photography has not changed since its origin except in its technical aspects, which for me are not a major concern.




Photography appears to be an easy activity; in fact it is a varied and ambiguous process in which the only common denominator among its practitioners is their instrument.

What emerges from this recording machine does not escape the economic constraints of a world of waste, of tensions that become increasingly intense, and of insane ecological consequences."

Henri Cartier-Bresson on Photography

Fried Pig Anyone?

Deep frying will kill ALL germs, for sure.

Paper Bark Tree Forrest - El Ángel, Ecuador

May Day in Cuba - On the Road Again

Looks like it was quite the event, can't believe I missed it. Apparently, the travel ban is still on from flights in and out of Mexico. I was hoping to fly through Mexico on Tuesday, we'll have to wait and see. Here in the airport in Quito and once again - free wifi! Every one in fifty passengers is wearing a silly-looking surgical mask. From what I've read, they only help get the germs from someone that is sick from spreading to others. Still, I've already washed my hands twice this morning, and I've only been up for two hours. At least I made the flight this time - Chau!!

Hail to the Drifting Beard Grower

This guy rocks, it seems like there's few adventures left to be had. The point really is the journey. The destination became mute back in the 50's, I think. I half-heartedly still fantasize about walking the globe, maybe someday. See more about Christoph's walk here. (note his awesome carrito at the end)

Animal market in Otavalo. If only that blue truck weren't in the background. It's always something in the way...

Meat vendor in Coca, Ecuador, deep in the Amazon

I had a LOT of help along the way here in Ecuador but especially wanted to say thanks to both the David's for their emergency financial support; what with B of A locking me out of my account and then the equipment theft - thank you both!
