I'm honored to be highlighted in the Kelp Journal.

[KELP JOURNAL] Lowell, your photos are so striking. I think it’s the concentration of color even in--or maybe especially in--the black and white photos. All of the photos are dominated by a deep saturated color that fills the entire frame. I was wondering what your intent was in framing your photo...

I had the pleasure of creating a portrait for my good friend, Hal, once again. I have known him for about 25 years. This great man is now in his 90s. He's a joyful, loving and kind man. So grateful to be a friend to him and his wife, Sonia.

Received this email from a couple for whom we created their wedding video in 1995. This is the reason that we do the work that we do.

You made a beautiful wedding video of our wedding at the Captain Walsh House in Benecia, CA on June 24, 1995. We will celebrate our 30th anniversary in six months.

Brad’s folks made the videotape into a DVD, and we just watched it. We appreciate the way you made the day into a story. We delighted in seeing so many family & friends, most of whom are still in our lives, but for the deceased.

Gorgeous effects, and great work making a montage of the dancing and the gypsy jazz (The Hot Club of SF).

You shared a very old (Quaker?) sourdough starter with us. Wish I could say it, too, lives on—but alas!

We hope you’re well!

All the best,
Kathi & Brad
