This man said “doctrine is the answer” and I wonder if it is. Just how much can doctrine and strict regimen really improve the way things in the world are dealt with? Whether it be used in a religious context or a societal ills context the question raised by this man is a worthy one.

A warm front moved in during the early evening hours. A thick layer of snow on the ground caused a large amount of fog to blow through the area. With the wind gusts one could see clouds of the fog billowing in the flood lights.

I love televised ministries. Seeing the various ways one can preach interests me to no end. Now, along with this interest is my interest in photographing a television. I have been doing this for years and I was very surprised today to find a man selling snake oil.

Miracle Breakthrough Oil? It is obviously ineffective and a sham, but couldn’t we all use some real Miracle Oil?

Making images of other people inside of their cars has fascinated me for a while now. For a long time, maybe 5 years I have been photographing the drivers and passengers of vehicles as I rode past them.

Imagine my surprise when I found a well respected photographer, Andrew Bush, released a book called “DRIVE” featuring the exact type of photograph that I had been making for years. The images of people driving or riding in a car. And Imagine my further annoyance when I considered the fact that I had just printed, and hand bound created my hand made book featuring the same type of images, except my book was called “CAR” and I had the idea to include other images rather than the exact same type of image 66 times as Bush did.
