Somewhere near the Shore Parkway in Brooklyn
There’s something about walking along the highway that has always appealed to me. In this case, the Shore Parkway actually has a very nice bike path that goes through some beautiful scenery. Every once in a while, I’ll come across a path that leads deep into the undergrowth. Sometimes it leads into a field of poison ivy and briars, and sometimes it’s just a dead end. Every once in a while, though, one will open up into one of these secret places and it feels like a wonderland.
New Photos from Baltimore
I’ve photographed in this park several times over the last couple of years, but this is the first time I’ve used color film. I paid for these photos with a lot of bruises and a slightly battered camera, but I’m happy with the results.
Lloyd Harbor, New York
I had a productive day in Long Island this Saturday. This area is in a park near Oyster Bay, on the North Shore of the island. The geography and flroa are very different from the South Shore, where I have been spending most of my time lately. Based on this set, I think I may be inspired to try large format again. I’ve been using a Hasselblad for the last year or so, and have been very happy with the usability of the camera and quality of the images. But with photos like these, the more depth of field, and the more detail, the better.
New Photos
So much for not posting new work for a little while! These photos make me happy and I wanted to get them out into the world. Maybe I’ve been over-thinking it, and in the end, that’s all there is to it?
Editing
Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, Queens, New York
It’s a topic that has been discussed a million times, but just for my own sake I’ll say it again: editing is hard. It might be the most difficult thing we, as photographers, have to do. It’s a long process that starts before we even take our first picture and continues right up until we finally decide that the work is complete. And then, more than likely, you shuffle things around one more time for good measure.
