Walking 11.28.2016

Walking on November 28, 2016 in Amherst, MA with nine photographs of the sky taken in random intervals between of 3:21–3:51 PM . I kept noticing the geometry in my framing dicisions.

Walk 11.27.2016

Getting back to my walking practice after getting the show up at BMAC and surviving the election distractions.

Cloud Dance 07.18.2016

I am beginning to create images with creative passes in panoramic mode. The arc of the camera is like a single zen gesture. This group of images has become the basis for the show EYES TOWARD HEAVEN at the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center that runs from October 28, 2016–January 8, 2017. Images from a twenty five minute period July 18, 2016 4:33–5:08 PM while walking the Fort River Trail, Hadley MA.

Fortunes Rocks Celadon Haze

Walking the beach at Fortunes Rocks, an eight image sequence from 08.30.2015  7:59–8:02am.

 I have become entranced by the moment when the sun reflects off the surface of the incoming waves as well as the dissipation patterns embodying light in the turbulence of the crashed waves. Sky and water appear to merge into a single field. This is one of my favorite sequences from my annual summer trip to Maine. I may move it into Walks but for now it will live in the Notebook.

Dark & Light Stripes 04.02.2016—a Walk at Wentworth

This a second set of images from the Evening Sky Walk 04.02.2016 looking west into the sun while walking at Wentworth Conservation Area. 

Walking 03.30.2016

Distractions kept interfering, making this not a walk that revealed enough to turn into its own piece to include in the Walks. I did capture this small bit of hypnotic video as the wind coming straight across the water helped create these flow patterns. Towards the end a nice bit of bird song can be heard over the wind.
