About

.../miscellaneous - is a personal journal self educational in nature, containing notes and images that inspire me, or that I wish to learn more about - as such, it includes works by other people as noted with full acknowledgment and credit to authors and sources.

I also share content of my own making that I think is worth sharing with a larger audience. If there is any work by others who object to having their work posted here, I will remove the content if so requested.

Matt Niebuhr - Works ...examining the threshold at which ordinary visibility ends and perception begins... is a site featuring my work exclusively.

Intersecting Images : a "blog" with musings about art, photography and culture - begun in 2005

New work on drafting film with a bit of color.  

My goal is trying to find my own way somehow with this - maybe it expand with materials and process exploration.  I want to move this more towards the shimmer series work.  Admittedly, I am seeing references to some art I greatly admire.  I need to keep exploring to find more independence from those influences.
