I have a friend who laughs at me for taking so many selfies. He says it’s a ‘girlie’ thing to do. He doesn’t know how much this offends me. But I take it in stride. Artists can never take or have too many selfies. It’s kind of in the spirit of being an artist. It’s […]
Hopi Grinding Grain, c.1906, by Edward S. Curtis Edward Sheriff Curtis, an American photographer and ethnologist, lived from February 19, 1868 when he was born on a farm near Whitewater, Wisconsin until he passed away from a heart attack at the home of his daughter in Los Angeles on October 19, 1952.

What an odd image to feature in a post about a first visit to Vancouver, British Columbia, eh? I had always wanted to go up to Vancouver but for some reason it had just never happened. It seemed so complicated to get to Canada – because travel up the coast, or valley, across three states, […]
… As a photographer, or anyone that is interested in making or collecting photographs. It’s kind of weird to write about this. But we live in a much different world today than we did when I went to art school to major in the craft. Many people today make their first camera purchase, usually a […]
If you are coming to San Francisco any time soon, the Irving Penn exhibition will be up at The de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park until July 21, 2024. Way back in April – so much has happened since then it seems like a few years ago instead of just a month and a […]
I have never traveled because someone tried to sell me a destination. I’ve chosen my destinations to travel to because someone told me a good story or tall tale about their experience there, or they showed me a few of their magical and personal photographs. I’m attracted to a place because it’s an important contemporary art center or historical in some art or cultural or archaeological or spiritual way and often the experience of being in a landscape also inspires me while the deeper mystery of a destination is what pulls me there.
That’s what I try to share with my readers of this site.

Artists, Writers, Photographers, Musicians, Performers, Creatives … it’s probably our intense curiosity about life that drives us to move about on the planet. Our need to experience the revitalization of Self attracts the artist in us to the road or the rail or the skies. In a way, traveling is very similar to the creation process – both are taking a leap into the unknown.
Within our travels we find the discovery of a new place, a new language, a new taste, a new way of seeing, or find new work methods that will ultimately, profoundly affect our work.
ARTIST-AT-LARGE is here to inspire and encourage you to open the door and step out into an unknown world – to transform – even if it is only by experiencing your own neighborhood.
The focus here is first and foremost selling images, but it’s also on presenting cultural travel writing and photography, bringing together travelers and photographers, and when we aren’t traveling we share our everyday lives, studio work and musings, as well our cultural walkabouts around our homelands.
