Homage to Avedon & Frank



I went to the Richard Avedon opening last night at the San Francisco MOMA. Along with the Robert Frank "America's" exhibition I walked away with my creative juices flowing. I try to recall some earlier images I shot that had direct influence from those two photographers.

Here are two shots from some years ago that I positively knew Avedon and Frank had a part in. In the beginning of any artist career they always experiment in other influential artist styles to see how they fit. Evolving from there to hopefully discovering a true personal voice.

Old Glory on a Wing


I flew to Washington DC over the July 4th weekend on a Virgin America airplane. Outside my window was this view. Old glory on the tip of the wing. I tip my hat to the person who thought up this idea. Great color juxtaposition.
