WARREN CONNECTICUT – A busy day prepping for meetings next week so photography is not a top priority. I managed to shoot some hostas, which we have in vast profusion here because we’ve got a lot of deep shade in the summer, which they thrive in. Not a terrific image – last year’s image of similar subject matter is much more interesting.

I’ve started key wording these images as “summer”, which I haven’t done in the past. The summer aesthetic here is a feeling of being crowed by lush plant life, some of which is poisonous and most of which harbors dear ticks and thus Lime Disease.

WARREN CONNECTICUT and NEW YORK NEW YORK – I struggled a bit in Connecticut but then had a good early evening back in New York. I love these very long days with marvelous light at 7:00 – 8:00 in the evening. These three very different images are technically similar: they are stitched from multiple frames. This gives me medium format resolution with a much smaller, easier to handle, camera.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Did I mention that I’m feeling stale on my landscape images. I’m very pleased with the progress that I’m making on my urban material, but less so with what’s going on up here. The remedy, I think, is to spend some time in galleries and museums looking at landscape. I’ll keep at it.
