My favorite painting from walking in the Fort River Conservation Trail last winter. While I mostly worked with photographs during this time I did do a few paintings on some photographs.

Snap Shot Series 01.04.2017
Instead of the usual walk, I stood on the dike of the Connecticut River in Hadley, watching the changing world of the sky. These photographs are the first of my Snapshot Series, where I will be taking average shots of the landscape and making them look as good as I can.

Walking at Fort River Conservation Trail the day after Christmas. The clouds cam in as a solid field of gray. The rain started soon after I got through walking

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.

Walking Wentworth 03.31.2016
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.
Returning to Blue o4.15.2015
While walking on April 15.2015 at Wentworth Farm Conservation Area I kept returning my attention to the predominantly cloudless sky for over an hour between 5:35 to 6:40pm. This group of twenty eight photographs documents this walk (shown below the installation photograph) .
This work was installed as part of the Sky Walk show in the summer of 2015.
