So that’s it for shooting Kodachrome, the fat lady belted out a good one today, lots of high notes, a few lows. I will remain in Kansas until the last roll goes through the machine, which judging by the volume, could be as late as this time next week. I will have more blog posts [...]
The wind is howling in velocity and in the changes in photographic history that are about to take place. It is 230 AM in Parsons Kansas, the new film developing shift arrives at 6 AM where they will be greeted with more work and my camper parked at the lab that I have been living [...]
The final week to use Kodachrome film is upon us, right in the heart of the holiday season. Grant Steinle and crew are working from 6 AM until 9PM to get all the film done that comes in on a given day, some 1,000+ rolls of still and movie film. I finished up in New [...]
Whew…just over 14 days left to shoot a film that is now 75 years and 8 months old. Just sent another 150 + rolls off to the lab, will hand deliver the rest. After some 5 days and nights in New Orleans, I now have 172 rolls left. At this point, it is all fun, [...]
So here we are, a month left. I am sitting in a Starbucks in DC near the Aspen Institute getting those proverbial ducks in a row. Sent 150+ rolls of Kodachrome to the lab…they made it, whew. A little over 300 rolls left and a month to go…no pressure. I used to worry about not [...]

I have been in New England a month now, pretty incredible place, rich in diversity from large cities like Boston to dinky Canadian border towns like Derby Line. I have followed the Fall colors all around the state, photographed small town fairs, life as it is in the region. I got into a theme of [...]
Every time I have been through Greensburg Kansas, the sky is swirling, the land churning….it is eerie.. It’s like they built the town on a burner on the stove in God’s Kitchen and something is always cooking. Greensburg had been rebuilt, but it still feels like it is on the edge of something..the edge of [...]
It took years to build my bike, my preferred mode of transportation, it took a week to prep my rig for the dusty ramparts of Black Rock City, it took hours to decorate my cameras to engage and inspire at Burning Man. It took three days for my bike to be stolen at the event [...]
Yosemite Valley in May was a zoo. Tuolumne Meadows not so much and easy camping, non-stealth. In my early twenties, I did no more than 3-4 days in places like Yosemite, Mt. Whitney and Death Valley, so I am giving my self a present of not days but weeks on end in these places with [...]
