Wander around the woods

Took another hike up by Shelton Lakes early Sunday morning to take some photos after the storm blew through the area. The fact that everything is still wet and dark makes for some great contrast. I like to focus on the little pieces of landscape right under my feet. I did a good amount of crawling around the underbrush down near the lake and was pretty happy with the results. Some of these photos will make good reference photos for possible paintings.

Annual Photo Show 2008

I recently got 2 photos into the Annual Photo Show at the Carriage Barn Arts Center, New Cannan, CT. Paul Fusco of Magnum Photos is the juror. It's a nice venue and runs form February 10 to March 9. The photo, a one shot deal, was taken at the Shelton Day carnival in 2007. For more info: http://www.carriagebarn.org/photoshow08.html

Hike and Photos

The warm weather continues (40s), so I took a hike with my friend Mitch along the Shelton side of the river yesterday. Kind of a drab time of year for nature shots, but also keeping an eye out for arrowheads. Hiked up through an old cemetery and the trails near the gas pipeline right-of-way.
