Dad's collections

My father is not only an artist, but a collector of art and other fun things. It's always so much fun to visit his house in Utah. Here are a few photos I took while visiting with him last month.
He is an avid mask collector.


Tin motorcycles.

Spurs.

Skulls.

And tin cans.

Cowboy Essentials

My fathers ranch is the perfect place to take incredible images of everyday cowboy stuff. He is a packrat of all that he holds dear. No clutter, just essential cowboy accoutrements.

I took these photos in August of last year which is sadly the last time I visited. We really have to visit again, soon.

I have been inspired by my friend Kerry to actually post some more focused photographs that I have taken over the years. The more I look at them, the more beauty I see in the dusty subjects.

"If you do good work, the money will follow"

I have googled my Dad before, but never found a video...until now.

This snippet seems to be one in a collection of interviews entitled "20 Outstanding Los Angeles Designers, 1986"

A little awkward, but totally my dad.
In the very beginning of the video snippet, you can even see Dad with ChaCha (Chicako), my stepmother, on a very large deck with a beautiful view of a harbor in Los Angeles.

This video is a snippet of an 18 minute long interview from 1986 I found on Ebay



The seller, who actually is the interviewer as far as I can tell, wants $24.00 plus $8.00 shipping for a freaking 18 minute DVD! I don't think I can go there. I'll have to ask my dad if he has a copy he can send me.

So, to all my friends who have never met my dad, here he is in a 1:58 totally blink of an eye interview. To view the 18 minute video, you have to buy it...If you do, can you ask me over to view it? I haven't seen it.

This is horribly short, I wanted more. I already emailed ChaCha to see if she knew it was out there, and possibly to get a copy of the whole thing. Dad unfortunately is email illiterate.
