There's been a growing number of creepy incidents at Walt Disney World. People have been smuggling in their loved ones' remains and sprinkling the ashes on their favorite rides. It's actually become a big problem. I've been enjoying taking more pics with my cell phone. This one is from a television ad for the theme park.
I started this collage with a belly full of food that these guys probably just laugh at.

For the music I used mainly the fragments themselves-bubble wrap, plastic bags, etc,- plus some traditional instruments.

Found this polaroid on the branch of a tree in Harlem. Cheered me right up.

This is a photo of an advertisement, something I've always enjoyed doing. A must-see show is "Richard Prince: Spiritual America." He did a Marlboro cowboy Ad series, (and many others). This highly anticipated survey features a wealth of Prince's photos, paintings, sculptures, and works on paper from the last thirty years. A fun filled show for all ages. It's at the Guggenheim till January 9.

This a long exposure of the summer sky looking northeast. The Summer Constellations are the 17 constellations that fall between June and August. Some of the more famous ones are part of this group, including Sagittarius, Cygnus, Lyra, and Aquarius. This was taken from Long Island.

The baiji, a freshwater dolphin known as the "goddess of the Yangtze" is extinct, scientists said this week. The latest search of the river produced no sightings of the species, which lived in the Yangtze for 20 million years. The demise is blamed on overfishing, and the construction of the Three Rivers Dam, the largest hydroelectric river dam in the world, and 5 times the size of the Hoover.

I'm no illusionist, but as you other photographers know, there are some shots that are hard to resist. This is one of those.

These bears seem to be the poster animals for a warming climate. These big critters can swim 200 miles in a day if they've strayed too far from the mainland. Graceful and resilient, they are the biggest of what scientists call a determinate species, that is, other life forms that could determine our future. Generally frogs, birds and plants are in this catagory.

This is a photo from a "Walk Around The Block" series. The idea is to simply walk around your block and find images that inspire you. Once is enough.

The painter Kerry suggested I post the entire animal series for your viewing pleasure.
The leading cause of vertebrate declines is human destruction of old growth forests, wetlands, chaparral, and other rich habitats. Worldwide, over two-thirds of the earth's habitable land surface has been significantly disturbed by human activities. Nearly half of the world's 233 primate species are threatened, largely because of their dependence on large expanses of tropical forest, a habitat under siege around the globe. In hotspots of forest loss, such as Madagascar, the Atlantic rainforest of eastern Brazil, and Southeast Asia, roughly 70 percent of primate species face extinction.
many of these bears will be gone in our lifetime. With the threat of oil and warming the planet holds fewer places for big mammals. Most Americans don't realize that we're in a period of mass extinction.

I recently finished a series of northern animal paintings, all for Christmas presents.
Each are about 12"x16" oil on board. People always say that it's hard to make homemade gifts, and it is, I struggle alot with painting myself. But with persistance and a simple idea they are extraordinary and often more memorable.
This is an autumn creek in Pennsylvania.
This old coot is always talking about the terror in men-the terror to live, the terror to die. I asked him where all his evil comes from and he simply said "Deep in the earth."
Happy Halloween and sorry about the nightmares.
Nuclear power seems to be spreading. This painting was hard to complete. I'll probably destroy it for my own well being.

Cats have been involuntarily involved in my art as long as I can remember.
Mysterious and loyal, they move complete but unsatisfied.
a photo from a $.99 store. I've always thought that these places were worth something pictorially.

This is a painting from an ongoing suburbia series. This is an earlier one. Lately I've been interested in entertainment, like trampolines, playgrounds or swimming pools.

This painting is from a suburbia series. They're bushes with snow on a "front yard" next to the driveway of a house in Pittsburgh. The house is up there, but not in the picture. To me, these manicured shrubs are a wonderful example of how each person has their own way of bringing a little nature into their lives.

There's a feeling of comfort and contempt in this image. Mainly because instead of thinking, most people are just rearranging their prejudices.
This is an oil painting inspired from an advertisement. I was inspired by the complexity of chrome reflections and the humor in the sounds of those horns.

Cheerios has a bee, Frosted Flakes and Exxon, a tiger. Hostess has a vulture and racoon, Mastercard, a zebra, Geico, a gecko, and you gotta love that Chucky Cheese rat. But it's the stallion that seems to speak to young men specifically, seducing them to work hard and drive fast with a smoke dangling.
These pictures were taken in Greece, inspired by the artist Richard Prince.
