All of my prints are signed, limited editions. I print my images on archival William Turner Watercolor or Crane's Museo Silver Rag fine art papers. Prints are available for purchase by contacting me through my Studio. |
March 14, 2010Georgia Was Truly on My MindIt really begins here. Georgia. Red dirt. Black faces. An old black man wiping his brow with a blue and white kerchief. Still, I began my journey south from the mountains of upstate New York three days ago through cold, pelting rain. The motel stops offered barely enough comfort and warmth from the chill and dreariness that settled into my bones. Watching the monotonous back-and-forth motion of my Honda’s windshield wipers struggling to keep up with torrents of rain, strained my eyes. Wearily, they worked overtime to maintain focus through the foggy gray and brown landscape of I-95 in March.
I am in the initial phase of a creative project that merges my photographic images with my writing in the chronicling of many places throughout the United States I visited fifty years ago as well as those I will see for the first time. During this opening stage of travel, one that will become a cross-country journey, solo and by car, I have been commissioned to photograph an island off of Florida’s southwest coast.
When I reached Georgia today, though still cold with frosty mornings, I welcomed the bright sun streaming through partially leafed-out trees. I didn’t know at first what it was about this peanut farmer’s roadside stand, but the instinct to stop was strong. So I did.
