Sometimes they don't mind posing.

The royal child.

Happy to be home.

Triangles in Paris and nearby

This is Arnold, from the town Auvers sur Oise, just a 40 minute train ride from Paris. This is where Vincent Van Gogh painted a hauntingly beautiful Church and several magnificent wheat fields. This is also where he lived his last days.
Arnold lives and paints in this house ~ a house also painted by Vincent. He waved to us to come in as we passed by the picture window of his studio. Forty minutes and many stories later, he posed for this snap.

Triangle by I. M. Pei outside the ... well, you probably know where.

One of my favorite subjects - men playing Boule.
This time in the Jardin du Luxembourg.
Love locks! On the Pont des Arts.
Can you see the lovers' initials signifying undying love?

Mostly Nude in Paris

We were in Paris for a lovely week and I decided to visit some friends.
I remained clothed at all times.




A casual stroll through the park.

A brother is added to the mix

"All who would win joy, must share it; happiness was born a twin." Lord Byron

Two sisters and now a brother with teeny tiny feet.
That also = happiness.

Surfer love

Can you see the heart in this photo?

There was fishing involved

Casting ...
...and catching...
...and, best of all, watching fish guts be cast to the gulls.

Norway in June

Two glorious weeks at the family summer house on the west coast of Norway.

Four Mikkelmen and a Kline, fishing every single day. Fresh fish for dinner every single night!

Someone's sitting down on the job ~ a hike over the old post route.

Visitors to the village on Midsummer Night's Eve.

Art Show - Rainey Gallery

I will be showing my photographs at Rainey Art Gallery in Newport Beach during May. I hope you all can come to the opening reception on May 1st from 6 - 9 p.m.!

Tulips in winter

The tulips are too excitable, it is winter here.
Look how white everything is, how quiet, how snowed-in
I am learning peacefulness, lying by myself quietly
As the light lies on these white walls, this bed, these hands.
"Tulips" by Sylvia Plath

Sydney Nycole

Recently I was lucky enough to be able to photograph this beautiful and talented singer. She's a Berkeley girl, writes all her own songs and is all the things these photos show ~ thoughtful, playful, confident. She sings her tunes lustily and angelically at the same time. I'm a fan.
