'Madaket Sun' Heads Up WP.com for May 2011
May 04 2011 Filed in: New Captures
In a nod to my history with Nantucket Island, “Madaket Sun” shows the ocean town at dusk - with the sun shining hot on Cape Cod homes, shot through some brush.
“Madaket Sun” was shot in 2005, so it’s a dip into my portfolio - and it’s a wish to return there someday soon. Enjoy.

ARTvision's $11k+ year; Writing 'Project Idol'; From Ticket To Header
Feb 13 2011 Filed in: General Posts | New Captures
So proud of our magnificent artists - ARTvision earned Positive Impact more than $11,000 this year. We once again increased our donation for the year-over-year period!
I just took over the “Project Idol” column for ProjectQ Atlanta - look for lots of dish about some of the year’s best singers, and the lameness (so far) of the judging panel.
This month’s header, “Low Shelter,” comes from a scene outside Brevard, N.C., when I was on my way to contesting a speeding ticket that Jason and I got while looking for Owenby Farms. This image will be for sale on RedBubble for the same price as the ticket - $180.
Look for more updates about ARTvision Live and another round of sales. - WP

Heading Up WP.com: 'Deck Splash'
Oct 01 2010 Filed in: New Captures | Stone Four Projects
“Deck Spash” heads up wp.com this month. It is a shot of two bright red kayaks with morning dew still on them.
This is one of many shots - some of which will make their way to ARTvision - from my Chautauqua series.
Also, please enjoy the new, more streamlined design for wp.com. Bigger header capture, easier nav and many more cool things to come.

Sometimes Beauty Is 'Strewn' All Over Our Lives. We Just Have To Look For It
”Strewn” heads up wp.com for August... And it struck me as unusually bleak and yet beautiful all in one.I was at a wedding in Maryland with Jason and this was the moment there were three photographers shooting the moments following the ceremony - moments that were truly special. The feet in the picture are of the photographer of record, standing and switching the settings of her camera.
The color of the yellow rose petals against the grain of the dock was truly a sight to see. hope you enjoy.

Initiation & Imagination: Watch For New Projects Coming Soon In 2010
(CHARLOTTESVILLE :: 8 February 2010) After boffo numbers for ARTvision-4 - to the tune of more than $7,000 - I am turning attention to new endeavors in the coming months.• In March, watch for the launch of WillofAtlanta.com - a viewer- and fan-derived site that profiles and collects some of the best sights, sounds, eats and attractions that Atlanta has to offer.
• I am co-curator of my 20th reunion’s Alumni Art Exhibition at Skidmore College. We’re accepting submissions now so if you have one please let me know ASAP.
• A number of projects are coming down the pike for The Sunday Paper, including a profile of Affairs to Remember and its green initiatives; and a story about race in the barber chair.
• Continuing development of “EIQ: Everyman’s Guide to Developing Emotional Fortitude” - working on finding an agent, publicist, publisher and, ultimately, readers!
• Relaunch of the Stone Four Media Web site and a new location for Stone Four Studios, both coming very soon.
• More captures and posts here at wp.com. Now that ARTvision has concluded I have more time for posting.
• Updated wp.com pages: reel, who? and tunes.
My great thanks to all ARTvision buyers, volunteers and artists - all of which came together in celebration of the arts to support Positive Impact.

Check out Mama Jean up top on wp.com! Taken on our boat in the South of France.
She’s reading The Times and enjoying the start of our day.
This is also a Pride 2009 preview picture, and depending on how things go, could be an ARTvision piece.
A Funny Thing (And Some Cardio) Happened On The Way To Lockdown
Sep 04 2009 Filed in: New Captures | General Posts
(4 September 2009 :: CHARLOTTESVILLE) - I learned a new term while traveling on a catered passenger barge for Rob’s birthday in France.Aside from needing (and getting) regular exercise to work off the ultra-rich, amazingly tasty French cuisine, one must also pass through what’s called a “lock” when one travels down a canal or other body where the water level changes. I guess being a city boy I never had a need to know that.
This month’s header capture, “Emergence,” could only have come to pass because of these canal locks. The guy in the picture was working his boat with this two other buddies, rising up as the lock sloshed and churned full with murky water. He had his hands resting on the side of the lock and was waiting for the boat to reach the required level to move on.
I grabbed my camera and shot their entry into the lock, which turned out to be a very interesting group of pictures to say the least. Then... I went for a run.
