Self-Portrait (repost)

I've posted this photo before , but it seemed a nice one to end with. I've come to the end of the material that I want to share he...

In memory of Dick Hibbert (1933-2010), I am posting selections from his art. He painted in oil, was an avid photographer, did watercolors, and sketched in pencil, ink, and charcoal.   You can send me email by addressing it to my first name at mydruthers.com. --Chris

RTH often took photos of spiders and their webs, though they seldom come out very clearly.  This one came out particularly well.  It was taken in Japan.

Giant Teapot

RTH taught photography courses while we were in Japan, and often took his classes out to wander around.  On one trip, they saw this giant teapot in a store window.  I don't know who is in the picture.
