Wigwams

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

On an icy night in Holbrook, Arizona, we slept at the Wigwam motel. One of seven Wigwam Village motel courts built from 1930–1950, the Holbrook Wigwam is cozy and warm and quite reasonably priced. In the morning, I looked at the derelict classic cars they park by each wigwam. The sun slowly burned off the heavy frost.

The Longest Nights

Winter in the Bay Area has its own special charms. Here are some night shots of my favorite places to warm up in North Beach, as well as the sunset from the Embarcadero. Happy Holidays.

Choosing the Best Direction

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

It all boils down to choosing the best direction, doesn’t it? But making that final choice is pretty hard. Here are two cover directions for the new National Parks book I designed for Earth In Focus Editions. We’re finding it difficult to make the choice here, and no matter what we decide, a certain mega-major book distributor may have a different opinion and throw their weight into the equation.

This book has absolutely nothing to do with the new Ken Burns film about National Parks. Nothing. The stunning photo by Jeff Foot was shot in the Grand Tetons.
