As some of you know, in addition to being a part-time cruiser, I am also a professor of photography. Over the past 4 years I have been making work inspired by my time living on the water. The video link below is to a talk I gave last month at the Peoria Riverfront Museum about the development of my recent work using bioluminescent organisms in photography. I spend the first part of the talk discussing how the purchase of our Tayana 37, and subsequent cruising, has changed the type of photographic work I make. I also weave a thread about following your passions and curiosity – a regular mantra in the cruising world – through the lecture. I hope you enjoy this look into my life outside (but intimately related to) sailing.
