At last I have finished getting these images web-ready. Click on them to view them larger and to read their accompanying lines. This project took well over two years to conceptualize and complete and the help of many friends along the way. I give my thanks to each of them. Thanks as well to those of you who take the time now to look through.
Artist's statement accompanying the opening show in the Harris Fine Arts Center in December 2008:
Each passing moment is alight with possibilities. Even in the mundane, fixing a tie or leaning out a window, thoughts can come to our minds charged with the hope of what 'could be.' These thoughts are ephemeral, subject to quiet death by the onset of reality--like a voice shaking us from a pleasant dream that can no longer be recalled upon wakening. "Till Human Voices Wake Us" explores two facets of this human experience, the life-lending excitement that comes with fresh hope and the deadening weight of habit and culture that keeps us from realizing our dreams. This series both celebrates these effervescent fledgling dreams and commiserates on their passing. I have selected lines from the poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot to accompany the photographs.

I love my photo so much.
Dan Tengelsen's favorite of the show. I gave him a copy for his birthday.
