Up until a few years ago most of the photography and artwork selected for display in my home and office was by other artists and photographers. Now, a selection of my collectable canvases and artist proofs have been added to the walls.

Most of the guest artists are family, friends, or acquaintances. There are chemographs by the late Peyton Russo, a color landscape by Alex Russo – most famous for his painting of ships commissioned by the U.S. Navy and now hanging in the Smithsonian Institution, paintings and sketches by Janis Browning, a watercolor by Suzanne Greene, framed artworks by Tim Galleghy, John Byrum, Heidi Rush, our daughter M. Linsay Allio, ink pointillisms by Pablo Solomon, and a canvas by the late Bill Rase – a California musician and radio/tv personality. It was the colorful canvas from Bill Rase, a total stranger, of a painting he had done of one of my published landscape photographs that prompted me to begin the display of my own photography.
An 18×27 canvas of Maine’s Portland Head Light, shown above, is set to hang next to a scene from Pololu Valley on the Big Island of Hawaii. The selection of each photograph for my personal coast-to-coast gallery is not exclusively based upon the quality of the image, but the stories and memories it prompts.
