#ArtRhymes
The guiding idea behind the #ArtRhymes project is simple: think of an artist, think of a rhyme, then stage the photo. It is governed by the following rules: 1. Artists should be fin-de-siècle or later, with a preference for Modernists and Post-Modernists; 2. Rhymes should be direct (though I have allowed the occasional slant rhyme); 3. Photos should make use of ordinary household items, with a maximum budget of $10 per photo. Many thanks to my human and animal collaborators!

Tristan the Wonder Dog
I adopted Tristan from a no-kill shelter in Chicago in 2011, when he was about two years old. He had already been returned to them once, but I had no doubt he was the dog for me. In the ensuing years, he has proven a most philosophical and photogenic beast. When we moved to Portland in 2016, I began recording his adventures and his musings. Please click on any image to see full size images and captions in lightbox.
