More of Clayton's Galleries - Coming Soon!

My idea here is to have my own little web ring of online galleries, presenting different themes I have worked on through my career photographer. Please check back in a month or so, as I intend to have at least one of these up by February 2001! If you have an urgent desire to see more art sooner, drop me a line. I have a lot of stuff ready but I'm too much of a perfectionist to show it yet.

Sculptures & Mannequins

When I was in Florence I was constantly recognizing a duality between modern florence and it's rich artistic history. I tried to capture that schizm with photos contrasting the time-worn sculptures of the renaissance with modern day people and mannequins, which are omnipresent in the city's fashion-conscious center.

Industrial Landscapes

Don't ask me why pictures of junkyards and oil refineries, old train tracks and empty lots speak to me. Perhaps it is because the Bay Area landscape is literally being overhauled with rich hotels, homes, and dot-com-panies. The run-down, old relics which remain provide a stark contrast to the gentrification process. Living here I have learned to find beauty in these decrepit monuments to the modern era.

Las Vegas

What I like about Las Vegas is that each casino has a theme. You have cheesy glitter and sparkle versions of places like New York, Egypt, or Venice- all within a mile of each other. Each casino exaggerates the reality of its subject matter to such a degree that it is like walking through a huge, adult cartoon. It sure allows for some interesting interpretations of world history!
