    from Olema Ridge

    Hymn to Tomales

    Have you walked here?
    And if so, where
    that makes your eyes
    so blue and fair?

    Have you dreamed here?
    And if so, what,
    to open wide
    while others shut?

    Have you looked here?
    And if so, why?
    To taste the blueing
    of the sky?

    Have you loved here?
    And if so, who?
    A nameless face
    whom you once knew?

    I've walked these hills
    from here to there
    to see the lions
    in their lair.

    I've dreamed such clouds -
    they're formed like that:
    ostrich feathers
    in Tomales' hat.

    I've looked in vain,
    discovering why
    life's fine treasures
    you cannot buy.

    I'll love with one
    whose soul is here.
    Tide is rising,
    time is near.

Here are a few digital "snapshots" from the field notes I take while researching locations for my large format work. A pocket camera with a good quality medium zoom lens more than adequate for these sketches.

Please be patient while images load. Some of the images on this site are large to preserve viewing quality. Even scaled down for the web, a few are over 1MB.

I shoot traditional large format film - 4"x5" - intending that my images should be equally interesting whether viewed from six inches or six feet. My scan files are 500MB to 1GB each in order to enable printing from three to eight feet wide.

Any backlit computer screen, regardless of quality, is a limited substitute for a fine arts print. Please keep this in mind when viewing my images online.

 

I offer my images as individual fine art pieces, each of quality and size appropriate for presentation of its subject. These are usually at least 30", and often over 60", on the larger dimension.

I do not sell images or image products (prints, posters, etc.) on the Web or any retail outlet. My work is displayed at a few selected events and venues where the items may be purchased as seen.

Some pieces are also available for limited temporary use in public buildings and privates spaces where they may complement an architectural display or staging.

Please see my book available on the Web from Blurb.com at Farmescape Notebook: Marin & Sonoma 2005 - 2011.
