MANHATTAN – Sometimes it just pays to have a camera with you. Walking at random around I came across some wall art in an incongruous place in lovely mottled light.

Looking back exactly three years to another image taken with the Rollei. Hydrangeas on Sepember 23, 2022. I don’t often shoot with film in my daily photo project. The time that it takes to develop and scan film makes it hard to keep my postings current, and film provides no means of reliably and accurately documenting that exact date of an image. The date the image is scanned shows up on the digital images’ EXIF data, which I edit to the exposure date, a process that is ok for an occasional image, but isn’t practical for a truly daily practice.

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.
