Spring arrived suddenly, I have even noticed the growth of little shoots of flowers waking up overnight. Around this time, I see a green glow around the trees. The buds or leaves are not yet visible but their tiny buds turning green adds that green haze. Very lovely. Aside from the season change, I also want to reference John Szarkowski, the late … [Read more...]
Garden 2012
It rained quite a bit this spring while I was away, and it was unusually cool. Lately it seems to have returned to seasonal norms, quite warm and still rains a couple of times a week. The garden apparently enjoyed this treatment and Jan's constant care so it has rewarded us with lots of flowers. I missed the Siberian Iris blossoms, the peony, and … [Read more...]
Night Photography Workshop
Although I missed his presentation on night photography I had signed up Lance Keimig's night photography workshop on June 9, 2012. Last year I bought his book and even asked Dennis to take it to the NECCC conference and ask Lance to sign it for me. Since then I read the book, made mental notes on night photography, but have not tried actually doing … [Read more...]
Our Neighborhood
We live in a nice neighborhood, modest but nice. It is close to many amenities yet away from the main drag, heavy traffic, and the hustle and the bustle of busy centers. The streets are wide enough to make it feel very open, all single-dwelling houses with generally well-kept appearance, and mostly flat terrain. When the weather is good I take … [Read more...]
Multiple Images on One Frame
In the previous post, I presented a method of creating multiple image composites by photographing a number of frames and then combining them in Photoshop for the desired effect. A while back I was interested in capturing motion and passage of time in one frame and produced a collection called "Time Compressions". They used the slow shutter speed … [Read more...]
A Different Way of Seeing
At a recent PSRI meeting, the guest speaker Andre Gallant presented several different techniques he used to create some of his photographs. Some techniques were the results of aspirations for paintings, with which I fully disagree, yet others explored the photographic capture of movement and recording longer passages of time in one … [Read more...]
John is 93
Yesterday was John's birthday, February 2, 2012. He was 93 years young, still going strong. The nursing home, West Shore Health Center staff suggested to have the birthday celebration on Wednesday, one day earlier because there could be a volunteer guitar player. It turned out to be incorrect but the party went on. We had ordered a birthday cake … [Read more...]
Spring – Summer 2011
Last spring and summer was a bit hectic for me with two cataract and one sinus operations and continuous problems with asthma which still persists. However, both Jan and I (more Jan than I really) managed to enjoy the yard. I stayed indoors with air-conditioning when the weather was hot or humid, often both. This summer was hotter and more humid … [Read more...]
Evening in Infrared
My new infrared camera has returned from the modifications. It is a Canon EOS T2i which will allow me to use any of my lenses depending on my needs. This evening after supper I took a stroll around the block, Spring Green Road, Narragansett Parkway, Fair Street, Clear Water Street, to Spring Green Road, to home. Along the way, I took neighborhood … [Read more...]
The Magnificent Tree of Fair Street
I posted a photograph of the grand tree near home among the infrared photographs a few days ago. Since then, I went back and photographed the tree again. This post is only about that tree, and what a tree it is. It has majestic size, graceful proportions and shape, tremendous presence, and is hugely photogenic. I will likely go back there many … [Read more...]
