Photographs in this gallery were created with the Rolleiflex film camera, a twin lens reflex, then scanned into my computer. The size of the negative/slide is 2.25 inches x 2.25 inches (6x6cm). It's akin to having a multi-megapixel digital camera, and it is four times larger than a 35mm negative or slide.


Not all of the pictures in this gallery are square. The beauty of the square format and the twin lens reflex is that it allows for cropping of the photograph, without having to turn the camera in a horizontal or vertical orientation.

Billy Goat in the Dog House

Near Cambria, California, on the central coast of California - to me, this picture looks more like a painting than a photograph. I made it while on the 2001 photography workshop to the central coast.

Abandoned Airstream

Abandoned Airstream trailer, at the back of the Bagdad Cafe (and location for the cult film of the same name), in Newberry Springs, deep in the American outback of the Mojave desert. Historic Route 66 runs right by the cafe, which is home to a cast of characters as unusual as those in the film.
