Big Orbit

My son Aric (in the photo) and I went to an exhibit at the Big Orbit Gallery. I snapped the photo after he jumped a fairly large puddle and was waiting for me to do the same. The image you see has actually been flipped around, another unaltered shot will show the correct perspective. Flipping the image allows the viewer some interaction and anchors the shot to reality even though it is a reflection.

meltdown

The color of the sky seems almost specific to the northern latitudes. The day although sunny was very cold as there was a slight but biting breeze. Despite the conditions, the sun's light in cooperation with my van's heater caused this mini-avalanche along with the small rivulet of water. A tiny drama that caught my eye!

This photo was taken at the bridge on Cazenovia Street where it crosses over the creek at Cazenovia Park. When I took this picture , my main focus was the droplets of water on the tree branch. The ideas presented in Oriental Art are always present in my thought process when shooting in overcast skies....the flattening of space as well as the subtlety of color. The slightly out of focus bridge stretches the image and gives some perspective to the work.

winter

winter is upon us once again, and despite all the inconvienience can cause it is truly a beautiful time of year. The changing of the seasons is good for the mind and the soul. This photograph is of South Park Lake is very tranquil despite the very cold deep.
