Emery Roth has been shooting photographs since childhood and now spends much of his time hiking the fields and pastures of the Berkshire Hills in search of images that tell the many moods of the land. When he's not snooping around old farmsteads he may be wandering the back streets of Manhattan, or the fishing wharves of Maine or what's around the bend anywhere. He hopes the best of his images speak with the immediacy of music. He's passionate about politics, film, beauty. time travel, and his family.

A Sunset No. 2




PHOTOGRAPHER'S JOURNAL: 

Not Hymn

The clouds swim away. 
The photographer asks,  
Where is the axis of the clouds? 
What force holds them for an instant?
Even as they swim away
The photographer makes the picture
Whatever makes the clouds
Makes us
As seed makes trees
As clouds swim away
