COMING SOON


Photographs from the continuing series, "Brass Valley Made in America," will be on exhibition through June and July at the Silas Bronson Library in Waterbury.


On Wednesday, June 19, in the library auditorium at 6:30 pm I will give a power point presentation of additional images from the book, accompanied by poetry and prose selections from it, and I will discuss discoveries along the tracks and in old industrial sites throughout the valley.

Dandelion's Revenge


This photo from last June was taken just before leaving New Brunswick, Canada, after a week-long photo workshop with Andre Gallant and Freeman Patterson. I passed by this field on my first day in New Brunswick 7 days earlier. Then the field was all yellow. I took numerous shots, but I like this one for the bit of mid-ground dialogue between left and right. I'm not sure why, but the house peeping over the treetops makes me giggle. It has hung in my dining room for a few weeks, and I have also come to enjoy the soft focus of the hillside in the far background. At the camera club they complained about both house and background soft focus. They said I should have tilted the camera down and just taken dandilions. Well, I did that too, and I chose this instead.
