I take photographs because I don’t know what I saw until I see them.
A hodgepodge is a confused mixture of different things. This collection of photographs is certainly a hodgepodge with photographs of an iguana, a Celtic cross, a knocker on a door of a Muslim shrine, and a bullet riddled pick-up among many others. I began creating this collection with pictures that I took at San Francisco de Assis Church, which Ansel Adams photographed in black and white in 1930. While working on them I inadvertently conjured up Adams’ ghost who threatened to haunt me and my kin unto the seventh generation if I did not make at least 50% of the collection monochrome. Heated discussions reduced that to 47%.
Photographs are roughly in chronological order. Most of the photographs are in a category that a fellow tourist in Israel called artsy-fartsy. In spite of this, I hope that you can enjoy them.
