I’ve just completed a new ebook: Focus on Beauty, it’s available for download, here:
This ebook is made up of two Photo-essays I did for Gentry Magazine of the Silicon Valley and surrounding area. It actually covers bits of my work from 1964 to the present. Briefly, the story is: After showing my portfolio (with images shot from all over –Paris, Mexico, Vermont, etc) to the magazine’s publisher, she asked me if I could go out and capture shots of our area of the valley. My immediate answer was “of course!”
However, it’s sometimes easier to spot photo-worthy shots elsewhere than right under your nose, but I approached it with the idea of finding places as though I had landed in a foreign land. The results were, I believe interesting, and for me fun. For example, I thought it would be great to get the shot of the polo ponies in action right in a residential area and so went to the Menlo Circus club during a game; but on the same shoot I also found that disarming shot of the horse posing for me in her stall. I also added in some of my classics like the shot from 1964 of my 7th grade class room.
There’s real satisfaction in being able to summarize my view of this remarkable area and present it to you, I hope you l enjoy it as much as I did taking these shots.
