‘The Astoria Clown Car, Astoria, Oregon

9/10/2020

 
These abstract photographs that I took last year are close up images of 'the Astoria Clown Car' in Astoria, Oregon. You can read about its storied history here:  https://www.oldastoria.com/buncha-clowns.php   In 1955, a group of men from the Astoria Chamber of Commerce became trained clowns, purchased a '48 Chrysler and painted it with bright colors.  This became the 'Clown Car', which was driven in parades and used to help raise funds to build a bridge over the Columbia River, from Astoria, Oregon, to Washington. 

Still Point Arts Quarterly, ‘A Community Wall’

9/10/2020

 
The first time I came across this community wall in a rough neighborhood in Oakland, California, I was struck by the extraordinary designs and composition, the patterns and layers of color and texture covering what began as a chain link fence. The images on the wall seemed to suggest layers of time:  ancient maps of Europe, regions of the USA, even imaginary trade routes.  When I returned a year later I saw that people had continued to add swaths of color and texture.  The wall was a living thing, with its own evolving beauty.

Colusa Wildlife Refuge

2/6/2019

 
Colusa Wildlife Refuge
These images were taken in the area of the Colusa Wildlife Refuge, part of a wide complex of refuges north of Sacramento, CA, in late January of this year. In addition to the huge number of geese, ducks and other waterfowl attracted to the area at this time of year, it is also the setting for a large variety of grasses growing in the ponds.

​I was drawn to the patterns made by their reflections which create unusual graphic patterns, almost resembling hieroglyphics. Have also included a motion image taken of an orchard on the way home.
