The kitchen was off limits. but I stood in the doorway as they turned their backs to me. The arrangement of everything was completely unknown to me from any kitchen I had seen before. I was mesmerized. It seemed that there were lots of steaming pots with porous pots on top. Fabric was laid on top to hold in the steam. Steam everywhere.

Privileged to go through the Potala Palace room by room, climbing ladders with years of yak butter on them. The smell was heavy and warm, for some it was overwhelming.

Leaving from Lhasa we traveled by bus over mountains at 19,000ft passing a bag of oxygen back and forth between the passengers to breathe intermittently. In this remote region we found a Buddhist religious order, the intellectuals.

What struck me about this was the enormity of the job. The team effort required was astounding to see. The labor was cheaper than the technology.

Modes of transportation have always intrigued me. Seeing this car in the 80s catapulted me to my parents’ generation in a visceral way.

I like the ambiguity of this picture. Easily it could be a metaphor for life. It’s hard to know what lies beyond what you can see, and yet you continue on.

A few favorites of the people photographed in England.
With this child, there seemed to more than the surface finery.

Frederick H. Evans’ images of the Wells Cathedral were an inspiration to me. So my early work in black and white silver print is shown here. The classic gothic symmetry pulled me into its own rhythms.
