Short Sets
Desktop Photographs circa 1985
These photographs are of wooden university desktops. This “art form” has almost entirely disappeared because of the ubiquitous use of plastic laminate. I am only showing a few examples from a much larger set.
Street Infrared Photographs (circa 1979)
These pictures were made on long walks in Portland. At that time infrared film was relatively new among art photographers. This work relates in some ways to the newer series Someplace Else.
Pictures of My Mother by my Father
These pictures were made by my father, Lyle Hickman, in the early 1960s. He was a prolific amateur photographer. His job entailed traveling throughout the western United States consulting with lumber companies on how to better dry lumber. Sometimes he would take the family along. I have inherited his 35mm slides and while reviewing them discovered this series of pictures he made of my mother, Anna Hickman, at various scenic locations. I thought they would make a fine series.
