This one has been a long time in coming, because this past year or so has been, well, this past year.
That said, here is a new Zenfolio gallery of “recent” work. A few of the images, of the flowers in particular, were done using my new close-up filter kit. I finally broke down and bought one. I used to use these a lot.
Anyway, enjoy.

Which may not be a big deal to some, but given my antagonism toward most things digital, it’s a big step for me. Following up on the previous post, I give you the original image and then the “fixed” image.
Yeah, a bit of perspective control. It is bit easier than what I used to do, hauling a view camera to the scene, making swing-and-tilt adjustments of several minutes, etc etc.…
Three new photographs from our recent K.C. excursion.

I have another book out, from Yard Dog Press, The Logic of Departure. More on that later.
I’m having something of a productive year, career-wise.  To recap, the official release party for my first short story collection, Gravity Box and Other Spaces, if this coming Wednesday at Left Bank Books, 399 N. Euclid, St. Louis, MO, at 7:00 PM.
Also, I’ll be doing another program with the St. Louis Science Center at the end of July. More on that when things are firmed up.
But on July 11th, we’ll be celebrating the 45th birthday of Left Bank Books and for that we’ll be doing something wild and crazy and insane—you know, normal fare for Left Bank—called Writers Under Glass. …
This is a cool thing.
Dan Reus of Disruptive Diner contacted me a bit over a month ago and asked me to participate in this. Naturally, I had no real idea what I wanted to say or how I would say, which was compounmded by the format—Pekchuka, which means literally fast talking. I came up with something, which is posted above. I had fun. I’d have fun doing it again.
So……
