This is a photo taken at the Bachelor of Fine Arts Exhibition in the Dorothy Uber Bryan Gallery in the Fine Arts Center of Bowling Green State University. The juried show was an opportunity to display a full body of work containing the best images created by graduating seniors. This is the fully-rendered Alternative Digital Print of Hey Dizzle Dizzle. The Alternative Digital Print Method used is a Digital Print transfered onto wood. Graffiti-like spray paint technique was used as a border enhancing the image while giving it an urban-vintage appearance. This alternative process is also known as “fresco.” / Actual Exhibition Dimensions: 7’x4’ Hey Dizzle Dizzle is an Urban take on the well-known “Hey Diddle Diddle”. This is the second, of 6 urban nursery rhymes/fairytales that I have created. The rhyme from “Hey Diddle Diddle” Was not intended to make much sense but its purpose was for each line to rhyme in a funny way. My take on this Mother Goose rhyme adds another twist to this throwing elements of Hip Hop culture, multi-cultural friendship, African-American history and visual characteristics of minority culture. The text in this rhyme is: Hey Dizzle Dizzle / Tha Kat’z on tha Turn-Tizzle / Tha Cowz jumped ova tha Broom / Tha Lil’ Dawg Laughed at tha / Big Dawg’z shortz / Tha Satellite Dish ran away with Hiz spoon

Even the street has a voice / It sweats from concrete pits / Doobies for freesies / but few have choice Speech comes off scribed walls / But its not sprayed blue red white / Troops tied to Suits / Even the poor have a right - Wise Hobo on Hood Street

Let Me Entertain YOU Street Performer in Croydon UK. / Captured on Saturday Morning in Croydon Town Centre UK. Camera Nikon D700 with 24-120mm Lense at 75mm. ISO 320, f/9.0 1/125 sec. As we were walking through the Centre of Croydon in the distance I could hear some lovely melodic singing, as we got nearer we saw quite a large crowd gathering to listen to this guy singing. He was quite a good entertainer and they all appreciated it. He was loudly applauded.
Sometimes a face just stops you in your tracks. Then, despite the fact that you have a camera around your neck and media credentials in your wallet, the debate begins. Do you have the right to intrude? I always ask the person if it’s all right to photograph them. Always. So when I saw this street performer in Singapore two years ago, I asked if I could take some shots of him and he nodded his assent. Just for the record, I wasn’t in his face when I shot these images. My normal lens is a Sigma 18-125mm, so I always have plenty of options. Both these images were shot at the maximum focal length, so I wasn’t even within touching distance when I photographed him. If only I’d had an interpreter, I would have asked many questions. I really wanted to know how old he was and why there was such depth of emotion in his eyes. Yes, he had a funky haircut. Yes, he had a great shirt. But I wanted to know why he sat there in the tropical heat, apparently without any teeth, playing the harmonica as if it were his only outlet for creativity. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my work in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F8, 1/90 sec, ISO 400, focal length 125mm. Featured in REMEMBER WHEN, September 2009.

The underpass in Fort William links the Transport Centre and the High Street. For many years it has been a favourite pitch for local buskers ........ whatever the weather.
Street Photography I had planned this project several months ago, fall of 2008 to be exact. I wanted to go downtown and take portraits of people in the streets. People who casualed the downtown or street performers, commonly known in these parts as “buskers. I was a little apprehensive about approaching total strangers and asking them if I could take their portrait. I wasn’t afraid in a physical sense but uncomfortable about how they might react. I had to come across as professional, calm and respectful. My initial apprehension was overcome by a conversation I had earlier in the morning of the first shoot. While on one of my photo excursions around the city I met up with a gentleman I had met only a week or so before. He is a retired firefighter and loves to talk photography. I told him about some of my projects, this one included and he told me he had been in an local office only two days before and was amazed to see portraits on the walls of street people who frequented these same streets when I was a boy 35 and 40 years ago. I remembered at least two of the names, one of which was “Bucky King”! How nice was it that someone at the time had the foresight to take those portraits. But’s that all gone now and there is very little record of it! We were both excited and it brought back childhood memories for us both! There was a lot of character in those faces! If I didn’t do this maybe no one else will? I decided to head downtown and give it a go! I decided to use a technique of portraiture that Stanley Kubrick used when a staff photographer with LOOK magazine. Kubrick would shoot these portraits from a low angle, looking up at them; the intent was to raise their status! I was considering doing this in black and white because it seems that many (some would say all) a great portrait was done in black and white! But I decided to stick with colour and make it work the best I can! Any and all monies made from these images will be donated to charity! Thank you for viewing!
