I had a lot of fun with this nylon slinky. In a series of pics he slowly evolved until he became the Hungry Slinky.

The photo hung in the Outside-The-Box Exhibit in Oxford, PA in February 2022, and then was juried into the 12th Annual Joseph Miller Abstract Pho...

This is the appropriate photo to close out 2021. Here is the back story. I shot this on an Ocean City bus in the summer of 2021.

This photo was juried into the Black Box online gallery under the theme of Color Burst, and will hang in the Jones Gallery in Kansas City in August.
