From 1986, when I moved to Arizona, to 2000 I mainly made casual photographs of my family while concentrating creatively on my radio show ROUTE 66 and then the Classic Railroad Songs series. I didn't quit photography, just took an extended break. The hiatus ended in mid-1999 as I began seeing the outside world photographically again, and most importantly, finding the inspiration and drive once again to go deeper than the family snapshot. These ten photographs are good examples of my eclectic interests, from the portraits of my children Brenden and Lucinda - Disneyland and legendary radio host Bob Edwards to the study in forms in Shiprock, New Mexico and Equivalent - Homage to Stieglitz. There's mystery in Dreamscape - Dragoon Mountains and humor in Henninger's Tavern - Baltimore and Sign of the Times - Tucson. Email Michael for more info.
