2023 | Preparing a Retrospective Talk


I’m sorry to be a bit behind here, folks; for the past month, I’ve been reviewing fifty-seven years of work, condensing it into a forty-five-minute talk for the Book Club of California. The Club is a venerable 111-year-old special collection in San Francisco, with public access by appointment, and I’m honored by the invitation to present my work there on October 16, 2023.

If you are in the area, you can reserve a spot at the talk. For those farther away, you can request a Zoom link. I will show LOTS of photographs and do some thinking out loud about how I work them up.

My talk is entitled PICTURE • BOOK • TALK and will follow my thinking and strategies, as my pictures have accumulated and sorted themselves over the years, evolving and coalescing in my mind as books.

I can’t believe that in just the past two-and-a-half years I have produced seventeen new titles. (They don’t all appear on my BOOKS link above, as several are at press right now.)
