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.

Great Hollow Rhymes

EDWARD WESTON: "Clouds, torsos, shells, peppers, trees, rocks, smoke stacks, are but interdependent, interrelated parts of a whole, which is life."

PHOTOGRAPHER'S JOURNAL: I wonder what viewers will make of this image. I'm not even quite sure what to make of it myself, but I'm drawn to its abstract simplicity and the suggestion that all things are in dialogue.

I set out to post photographs from the past summer and have been momentarily distracted by a commissioned project that requires my attention. While working on that project I came on this overlooked photograph taken at Waller Farm in late winter, 2008. The rhyme of its forms seem a natural sequel to "Bolland Farm and Hills," and so it becomes part of this new sequence on farms and farmland.
