Updated website

I made some photographs in upstate New York and Connecticut recently and realized they are part of the work I started in Connecticut in 2010, continued in Europe last year and now am back in Connecticut. Sometimes it takes a while to see the threads that connect the dots. Today I updated my website to reflect the larger scope of the project.

Storm

this was from a few weeks ago in Wallingford, right before a downpour. I love rain and storms. I wish I could follow the storms around, but it is kind of difficult with a 4x5.

the deeper you go...

The farther I look with my camera at this town, Wallingford, the more it gives me. This makes me think the same idea can be applied many places, to many things, the deeper you look, the deeper it gets, so to speak. A town is a town is a town. Like I will always see New York through much different eyes than folks who moved here as an adult. I think of the Upper West Side as a suburb. And there must be people in Wallingford, Connecticut who feel the same deep inside relief when the see their exit on the highway and pull into town, as I feel when I see the Empire State Building. New York to me is the ultimate comfort, I know it like a sleepwalker, I don't flinch at it's screams and screeches in the night.

Wallingford continues...

I am loving what is happening with these pictures. Should I be flying down to New Orleans to photograph some oil? I think perhaps so...

new work from Wallingford

I have already added these pictures to my Wallingford section on my main site, which you can see here. I am really excited about this project.
