Cold Spring Pond, Southampton, New York, photographed on the Winter Solstice afternoon 2020
I didn’t find this on my iPhone until a couple of days after its accidental capture while I had been on an architectural shoot. I’ll take all the accidental images like this I can get.
After three weeks and five thousand kilometers driving, I approached Mt. Cook from the south on a cloudless, sunny evening. I had been trying to photograph it for a week from different locations on the South Island. Every attempt was compromised by clouds of the Mt. Cook massif. And the real visual bonus on this occasion was Lake Pukaki, which is actually this color.
Just before completing a month’s residency at CopperLeg Artist Residency in Vaskjala, Estonia, I had an opening for the photographs that I made and printed there. During my month in Estonia I made trips to eastern and southeastern Estonia, close to the Russian border. I was photographing the land and the people’s use of it as well as the scars on the land from the abandoned Soviet era buildings.
At CopperLeg, I made a portfolio of silver gelatin prints in their darkroom. Additionally, I exhibited digital prints from both a digital camera and from an iPhone. Below are some of the images.
