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.

Editing

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.

Outer Lands

Today is the winter solstice—the longest night of the year. Many cultures treat the solstice as a holiday, a tradition which dates back to ancient times. It is no coincidence that many contemporary holidays also take place in late December, and that many of those holidays involve lights and candles. While it is dark outside, I hope you are keeping warm and sharing time with loved ones.

It has been an amazing fall in New York. Although these photos don’t give a sense of the phenomenal colors we’ve been having, certain structural aspects of the woods begin to show themselves as the leaves fall, creating opportunities for new compositions.

Sortino, Sicily

A very long day on the road outside a small town in Sicily.
