WARREN CONNECTICUT – We took a walk on a local trail which is maintained by the Warren Land Trust. We had heard that the central portion of the trail has been inundated by a beaver dam. So about a half mile into the walk we ran into a massive beaver dam and had to turn around. So we only got about a mile in. I photographed some rocks and trees on the way back.
As you may know I grew up in Utah where I spent a lot of time in the canyons and desert. After decades of living here with a base in New England I’m still struggling with how to capture the Eastearn deciduous landscape. There are very few distant views and until winter brings the leaves down few unobstructed sight lines. There are signs of humanity everywhere here. The forest pictured below is secondary growth (or 3rd or 4th or 5th). In the late 18th Century the primary forest here was typically cut to make charcoal for the local iron inustry.
Day 5822 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
Looking three years to a picture of a film camera, my Rollei 2.8 F, the version with the Schneider lens. You may have noticed that I’m a gear head. Day of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
