So I’m not in Sydney anymore but I can’t call this post “Los Angeles Journal” because the post is about the real-time book we created in Australia. If you don’t know about this then go back and check out the …
Los Angeles Journal
Los Angeles is indecisive. Summer is impatient but spring doesn’t want to give up control and reminds us with light rain and cloud. Downtown scrapers behind the veil. Traffic on high. A mobile phone gives the driver voice commands, but …
Sydney Journal Eleven
Glass pack feedback on a second gear scratch. Kent and Bathhurst. For us or the audience who doesn’t really care? On this street corner, right here and now, just watching. There is no reason to act but believe me when …
Sydney Journal Ten
Slow sweat creeping up. Jacket off and packed up. Southern light burning into me. Autumn is such a lovely word. The train is whisper silent. No one speaks, and beyond this there is a “silent carriage.” My kind of place. …
Real Time Sydney v3 with Garry Trinh
The book is done. Two days. Shoot, print, edit, sequence, design, upload and print. 58-pages. Perfect bound. $14 with shipping. Prior to the completion… Sugar. Tea. Milk. The book build continues. A full day of Garry working. He sits like …
Real Time Sydney Book v2 with Garry Trinh
What happens after the prints are made, the sequence is chosen and things move forward? We make decisions. A change of course. From Blurb Trade Book to Magcloud Digest. Why? Garry has never done a Magcloud publication, so reason enough …

Sydney Journal Nine
“I wanted a mission and for my sins they gave me one.” Captain Willard. Upriver. Parramatta. Green to gold and then to black. Bubbling. Turmoil. Jet foil. Narrower and narrower. “It’s a slow boat,” someone warns but the thrust of …
Sydney Journal Eight
Sydney smolders. Smokestack lighting. Vapor trails off a high rise. Moments of wonder. Can I climb down twenty floors? Control burns like a necklace around the Big Smoke. Nature reminds us all of the inevitable. When we go it will …
Sydney Journal Seven
No time for dreams here. Days too consumed for the freedom of random night thoughts. Install, lecture, install, meet up. Classified. “International Guest.” There are moments when the conversation lags and my other mind creeps in. I forget to ask …
The Photographer’s Guide to Publishing Photo Books via Photoshelter
The first moment I knew that digital photography was here to stay was 1997. Kodak had just released the DSC 520 and 560 cameras which were the first digital bodies that could handle a six-column newspaper page or magazine cover. …
Sydney Journal Six
There is someone I need to mention who has nothing to do with this post. Someone put on this planet to endure. Put here to party, to explore, to make stupid moves, to fall in love from country to country. …
