Cherub.  Many years ago Joe and I ran across this pair of 19th century candlesticks selling for a bargain.  Since we have a tradional home, they fit in perfectly.

Cloisonne.  Years ago Joe and I had gone to a black-tie AIDS benefit which included a silent auction to raise funds.  We both saw this Cloisonne bowl and signed up for it.  Joe was so enamored over this bowl that he stood next to the bowl making sure that no one outbid us, missing all the evening's entertainment.  We won.

"XX."  So I was grabbing a scrumptuous chili cheeseburger and fries at my favorite eating spot, Hamburger Haven -- my guilty pleasure for the week.  As I was sitting on the patio finishing up my food, I noticed how the metal chairs on the patio had worn this wonderful line across the wall.  I loved the combination of the chair, table and the wall, so I grabbed a couple XX from a neighboring table to finish off the scene and created my own still life right there on Santa Moncia Blvd.

Light.  Part of the colorful world of West Hollywood.

Robert & Joseph.

Portrait of a Golden.  This is a photograph of my female Golden Retriever, Rosie, who is four years old.  Most of the time she is a regular Tazmanian Devil, but she has these rare moments where she quiets down into a beautiful creature.  Dog owners always believe their dogs are the best, but I firmly believe mine are.

The Finger.  Part of my social commentary series, this image I put together to show the indifference of the top 1 percent of the people in our country economically to the plight of the other 99 percent.

Another Successful Mortgage Modification.  This is part of a body of work I am working on that are a commentary on what's going on with our nation.  This image relates to the growing homeless population in our society -- boosted by the the growing jobless rate and people's inability to stay in their homes.

Gigi.  A great woman who is part of my LGBT community. 

Still Life -- sort of.  When staying at a Best Western, I was taken with its austerity and simple lines.  In scoping out the room, I found this composition that I wanted to capture.

Still life.  I am studying the work of Josef Sudek, a WWII photographer who did a lot of still-life photographs relating to objects in his home.  I am going to do a still-life study using objects I find in my home.

Still life.

Tomatoes.  Lighting through a north-facing window.

 Ana, 74.  Part of my "LGBT" series.
