Lord Palmerston

I am working on a project involving historic death masks and took photographs of a number of them last week. I am not very happy with the results and have to refine my technique. I will be returning to do a series of these photographs in a couple of weeks. But for now, here is a photo of Lord Palmerston – British Prime Minister.

A Serious Wild Bill

Wanted to post another serious photo of Wild Bill after the one below of him clowning for the camera.

Wild Bill Revisited

Wild Bill is always fun to photograph since you never know what he will do next in front of the camera. So here is an updated photo from a visit this February.

Cowboy has been one of my favorite subjects around the shrimp boats in the Florida Keys. I have probably hundreds of photographs of him and look forward to posting some more shortly.

I had the fortune to meet up with James on the docks in the Florida Keys and he agreed to have his picture taken. In fact I saw him two days in a row, the second day working with my old, Keys, shrimp boat friend, Curt.

Pete, who works out of Tampa stopped by Stock Island for a couple of days. An old friend was crewing for him and introduced us. Pete allowed me to take a series of photos of him while we talked about life on the water.
